I have been working with several others for a couple of years, and now have a database of over 80,000 names posted to the Internet. I have also become overwhelmed with e-mail and research myself, that I no longer can keep up with the mailing lists that I subscribe to, so I need to unsubscribe to most. This will be my last Roll Call for the lists I will unsubscribe to, so I hope you will keep this if your research relates to mine, either by name or place.. You will find that possible your family lines migrated the same routes. These names listed below are the surnames from about 1800 to present, so the database will have many others that are not here. As I have many surnames I research in several states and counties, I will list them here and hope you will visit my site and view my Ancestors and check out our database. My Ancestors and Descendants report is at http://www.geocities.com/genmaster_1/debbie.html My full database is located at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=wasserburger I am in the process of posting photos to the sites and http://www.geocities.com/genmaster_1/ is where the links will be from.

Hi all~ I'm new to this~Hope I do it right! I'm looking for information on Richard (possible middle name Stephen) Allen who married Annie Smith (dau of Etheldred L. & Rebecca Fenner Smith) of Florence in about 1880-1882. They had one child, a son, named Carlile Diogenes Allen who was born in 1883. Family history says Richard may have been a doctor and that he died in about 1885. Can anyone help me? I have been unable to find anything about him. Thanks in advance, Sharon (Love4Trvl@aol.com)

Thanks to Linda Vestal and Maida Whitten we have some more new things on the Lauderdale pages: Linda has contributed the estate papers for Mary Cantrell and John Cantrell Jr. Maida has contributed Unknown Picture No. 36. These have not been indexed, but you can get to them easily from http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/newitems.htm Enjoy! Pat

Does anyone have a copy of the 1870 census and not mind looking up the family of Green FULLER? According to the index, it is on page 473. Thanks. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Jerry Webb and others, I have been on the Cagle mailing list for about a year. All the Cagles in America were decended from this one guy, Leonhart Kegel of Germany. They lived first in Pittsburg and then moved to North Carolina. Leonhart left one son in Pittsburg. The rest all moved to Moore, North Carolina and spread out from there. The Tennesse Cagles came from NC. The first bunch traveled overland to the south and then up the Mississippi River, according to Cagle genealogists. My point is: ANY Cagles moving to Lauderdale Co., AL from TN (esp. Warren, Hardin, and Sevier Co.) are decended from Cagles in Moore Co., NC. Karen in Texas

Question for someone knowledgeable in Lauderdale Co. history. I have totally lost five members of the family I am researching after the 1850 Lauderdale Co. census. Dose anyone know if there was an epidemic of Yellow Fever or Influenza in Lauderdale Co. sometime right after 1850 ? Thanks, Mary

Need help with William, do you know if he had a son by the name of James Robert ALLEN? he used his middle name of ROBERT. I believe that William Henry lived in Alabama about 1840. William used his initials sometimes; W.H. ALLEN. Thanks, joyce
