I was asking anyone on this mailing list if they would look it up for me. That is why I sent the email. I have searched high and low, on the BPL website, and they do not have the resources for me to do as you suggested. They actually specifically state NOT to bombard them with requests, but to hire a professional researcher, which I cannot afford to do. Also, I live in Dallas, Texas, and I do not have the means to make a trip to Alabama. The ADAH is way too expensive for me also. Anyone who will help, I will pay you back for a copy of the obituary. I would not have asked or even signed up on this mailing list but I need someone's help.

Contact them. I think they will copy and send it for a small fee. Their website is at http://www.bham.lib.al.us/ It has the address and phone number, etc. Hope this helps, Melba -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Hollingsworth <cheryliz@mailhost.directlink.net> To: ALJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com <ALJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, November 30, 2000 4:40 PM Subject: [ALJEFFER] Look Up Request--Obituary for Nell Hollingsworth >Will someone who lives in Jefferson County, Alabama, please look up an obituary that would have been published in May 1990 (I do not know which day) for Nell Hollingsworth of Birmingham, Alabama.
