There is a Steen,Miss. located between Columbus,Miss. and Veron,Ala. It is just a wide spot in the road.

Could someone help me locate where this is or was in Lamar County. Steen is in the very southeast corner of the county, surrounding the town of Kennedy. It occupies about 60% of township 17S range 14W (Huntsville meridian). wayne

Thanks to you all who responded to my request about Steens. The GNIS (geographic name information system) didn't have it, though, which I thought unusual - it gave something called Steenson Hollow in Colbert. Anyway, I found Kennedy on my map, and appreciate all that helped. Nice folks in Lamar County! Any of you have or know of any Alexanders out that way? I've got an Ernest Alexander and a Charlie Alexander born around there in the 1880's. Their dad was Thomas and mom was Serenia. Jan Melton

Hi, I'm new to this list. Just found out my gr-gr-granddad was listed in Lamar County in 1900 in Precinct 15, Steen. I cannot, however, find Steen on any map. Could someone help me locate where this is or was in Lamar County. Thanks so much, Jan Melton

Surnames: Sanford, Burford, Jones, Spencer, Cochrane Thomas Sanford(b 1816 Henderson Co, TN, d 1879 Jefferson Co, AL) came to Jefferson County as a young man and became the Superintendent of Education in 1836. He married three times: Margaret Burford, 1843, Permelia P. Jones, 1848 and Jane Dejarnette(Jones) Spencer in 1865. He had four children: John Burford Sanford, Thomas P. Sanford, Samuel Richard Sanford and Jane(Jennie) Sanford from 1844-1857. He was a saddlemaker, farmer and merchant by trade, served in the state legislature and as the Elyton(section of Birmingham) Justice-of-the-Peace. John Sanford settled in Fayette, AL where he was the mayor. Thomas P. Sanford was a house carpenter. Samuel Richard Sanford went into the timber business in Escambia County. Jane(Jennie) Sanford married a Cochrane in Jefferson County. I am looking for any information on this family, particularly around the origins of Thomas Sanford. The genealogy may be viewed at: http://home1.gte.net/cpq2m2ce/tree.htm Any assistance appreciated, and I will be glad to share information with anyone who I can help in their research.

Dear Cemetery Researchers, I am writing to give you an update on our work regarding The Historical Atlas of Alabama, Volume II: Cemetery Locations by County. Allow me to first thank everyone who has contributed to the project thus far. I apologize for not being able to personally respond to every submission. We have received hundreds of submissions so far and it would not be humanly possible to respond to each contributor. While our work is not complete, the end for this edition is in sight. Some people have asked if it is too late to submit information. This is an ongoing project and as such we welcome submissions at any time. While your information may not find its way into this edition, it will be included in future editions of the Atlas. Once the Atlas becomes circulated publicly, we fully anticipate new submissions and corrections. We consider this edition to be the beginning, rather than the end, of the cemetery atlas project. We have kept track of snail mail and email addresses and will make you aware of the availability of the completed book. Publication is still several months away. Once again, my thanks. Regards, Craig Remington Director, Cartographic Research Laboratory University of Alabama cartlab@bama.ua.edu
