Israel Pickens, husband of his first cousin, Martha Lenoir Pickens. It appears that William WESTMORELAND was in Lauderdale Co., Alabama by the late fall of 1822 as his daughter?, Catherine, b. 1804, married her first husband Elias HARRIS in Lauderdale Co., AL on 4 December 1822. Would like to find proof of children. Here's what I have. Probable children of William Westmoreland (1774/5-1854) 1.

Good Morning Brenda, There are several ways you might be able to prove the birth date of James Harve MOODY, but an actual birth certificate is not one of them. The state of AL did not begin keeping vital statistics until 1908, and it wasn't really mandatory until much later. 1. Do you know where he is buried? If the grave is marked, does the birth date agree with what you have? 2. Is there a family Bible record? Be sure to try for a certified copy of the family records. This includes the 'fly page' and the page that shows the date of publication as well as the family info pages. 3. The 1900 census will give you the month and year of birth. It is the only census that has been released with this information. 4. If his father served in the Civil War and applied for a pension, sometime they will list all of the children and their dates of birth in these records. 5. If his father dies while James Harve Moody is a minor [under 21 years of age] then his birth date may be included in his father's probate records. If the actual date is not included, his guardian will sign over whatever is left of James's portion of the estate when James reaches 21. Hope this helps. Pat M.

Good Morning Folks, Looks like Yahoo-Geocities have realized that their recent actions just aren't 'cricket'!: http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/20518.html Yahoo: Your Homestead's Your Own by Declan McCullagh 4:30 p.m. 30.Jun.99.PDT In response to a boycott and criticism from outraged customers, Yahoo late Wednesday abandoned rules that had given it eternal ownership of all GeoCities Web sites. "We're seeing how we can clarify our intentions, given the recent outcry," said Tim Brady, Yahoo vice president of production. The new terms of service, which took effect 3 p.m. PST Wednesday after executives spent the morning huddling with lawyers, now stress that "Yahoo does not own content you submit." - - - - - - - - - This is NOT ALL - Please go to the site above, and read!

Hello all, Talked with a member of the book committee today and was informed that the book should be delivered between the middle and end of JULY. The last time I spoke with them, I was told June, as they were, but this is not the case. Those of you that have paid to have the book mailed to you may get it before those that are local [planning on picking up their copy], since it will not be mailed from here. Will keep ya'll posted. Pat

Those of you that have pages on geocities should read all of this. http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/20472.html In part, it states: "Yahoo: Your House Is My House by Declan McCullagh 3:00 a.m. 29.Jun.99.PDT If you're a GeoCities homesteader, be warned: Your Web site is no longer your own. Yahoo, which launched its Yahoo-GeoCities site Monday, says it owns all Web pages, articles, and images on member sites and has "irrevocable" rights to them for all time. This presents a problem for those GeoCities members who have painstakingly assembled large sites with dozens, even hundreds, of pages of valuable material. " Pat

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
