Dear Mr. Davis, Anyone that was on this list in Jan 1999 is aware of the fine work done by Craig Remington and others at Bama on the cemeteries of Alabama. This list was notified 21 Jan 1999 about their project; 'updated' on 29 June 1999; given notice of publication/purchasing on 25 Jan 2000. If you would care to read the messages, go to: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl type in 'ALLAUDER' to search the archives of this list, then type in 'Craig Remington' for the years 1999 and 2000. Although I have the information they sent out in early 1999, your offer to send it is appreciated. Regards, Pat M.

I am sure that the Lexington Cemetery and Harman Cemetery has been read. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with the Cemetery publications. I am researching the HERMAN (HARMAN), SPRINGER, PRICE, and BRAWLEY families in Lauderdale County. Most of them are buried in the Lexington Cemetery but many may be buried closer to Center Star. Ruby

Re. a list of all known cemetaries in AL To: Craig Remington University of Alabama e-mail : cartlab@bama.ua.edu Postal address: Box 870322 Tuscaloosa, AL 35487 Phone (205) 348 1536 Fax (205) 348 2278 Craig , My apologies to you and all the fine researchers at th UA. I am sending along a couple of my messages to and from Pat Mahan. It seems that many people are not aware of your efforts at the cart. lab at the university. While going thru my files and already starting to mark a map of Lauderdale Co., I stumbled upon the information you had sent me way back in January of 1999. Boy do I have egg on my face ! I will photocopy the 9 pages, 2 maps and your letter and send to Pat Mahan. As you can see, Pat was not aware of your work at the University and I must assume that many in the business of genealogy are not aware of it either. There must be some way to get this info out to all the Genealogists who are working on Alabama. Thanks again ! L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA

Pat, Thank you for a very fine Lauderdale net site. I have enjoyed it and am finding a lot of very useful information. http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/cem.htm I have a couple of questions. The Wesley Chaple Cemetery has been surveyed as have additional cemeterys in Lauderdale County, and yet I cannot find them on your list. Are these surveys copyrighted so that you cannot use them? Can the "owners" of these surveys be asked for permission to use them? The reason I ask is that I have many ancestors buried in the Wesley Chaple cemetery and yet I do not find it listed. Did I miss it? The list of the people buried there runs to over 18 pages and so represents many of the pioneers of Lauderdale County. L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA Tla

The date of July 5, 2000 for registration is NOT the deadline to register. It is the deadline the hotel gave for reserving rooms. However, they still have some available. You can call Elaine Eaves COX at the phone # listed or send her an e-mail. LOTS of genealogy at this reunion. Maybe we can make some headway on our EAVES family!

Dear Kelley Cousins: Just found out that the EAVES Reunion is the same weekend as the KELLEY Reunion and is being held nearby. The Kelley Reunion is on Sunday Auga 6 only and the EAVES Reunion info is as follows: If you are an Eaves descendant you are invited to the National Eaves Reunion. August 4th, 5th & 6th, 2000 in Chattanooga, TN.@ the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel on Ringgold Rd., Chattanooga, TN. If you need additional info contact me @ ECOX456683@aol.com WOULD LOVE FOR ALL EAVES TO COME. Bring your genealogy information to share. For those of our line, we are from Richard Kelley born 1805 who married Martha EAVES. So the Kelley & Eaves Reunions are on our direct lines. What a miracle to have both reunions the same weekend in the same area. The EAVES reunion is only 29 miles from the KELLEY Reunion. Let's really get our genealogy on the table and share what we have. What a great opportunity to meet all those cousins in the same weekend. See you there!!!! Donna Cuillard

Good Morning Everyone, The following contributions have been put on the Lauderdale web site: Obituary of Alfred G. Hill from Jerry Webb WW1 Draft cards [Burtwell - Butler, John Wilson] from Nancy Gooch Unknown No 33 [picture of a WHITE family gathering] from Carol Byler Thanks a lot Jerry, Nancy and Carol. We all appreciate it. In addition, I've also put up the WPA copies of marriage books 3 [1833-1838] and 4 [1838-1841]. You can get to all of these by using the following URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/newitems.htm Please be especially careful using book 3 of the marriages. There are more transcription errors and typos in this particular WPA copy than any other I've seen. One of the most common is if the second letter should be an 'a' it most likely is transcribed as an 'o'; another is MarG for MarY. If you have someone that married 1833 - 1838, check the list for the beginning letter of your surname - in most cases that appeared to be correct but after that... you'll see what I mean. http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/newitems.htm Enjoy! Pat

I have been told that there is a web page for Kennemer that I have been unable to locate. Please, anyone, if you know of this let me know. Bill V. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Vasvary Subject: Ella Kennemer,Ella Kyle, later Ella Hassel I am looking for the cemetery in Alabama where my Grandmother was buried. She was Ella Kyle married to Adam Kyle. Adam dropped dead in downtown Bessemer, Ala on Nov. 29, 1912. I believe that Ella (maiden name Ella Kennamer) died in Birmingham, Ala. in 1927.
