Gladys, As I have said, this book has errors in some places and it does not include everything but is VERY interesting and informative....and if it HAS your people it can get you started in the right direction. MUCH of it IS reliable. (sorry I don't find any of yours in the index) I have no idea if there has been a reprint RECENTLY, but there were copies available two or three years ago, of a version with index....from the LOWNDES COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY P.O. Box 266 Hayneville, AL 36040 This is the full information: LOWNDES COURT HOUSE [note: this was the first name of Hayneville] A Chronicle of Hayneville, an Alabama Black Belt Village 1820- 1900 by Mildred Brewer Russell reprinted by THE PARAGON PRESS, Montgomery, AL The book is paperback with a plastic spine BUT as I said, I don't know if it is still available (I don't live in AL) ====================================================== another note on research: Rootsweb has a site where you can find "BOOKS WE OWN" about the area and family surname books, genealogy and history in general....LOOKUPS ARE OFFERED FREE by the owners of the books who, like me, want to encourage others to do family research: this is the URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/ <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/">BooksWeOwn</A> You will have a GREAT time hunting there, Carole In a message dated 1/8/02 4:58:33 PM Eastern Standard Time, CarBurCo writes: > GladysNRon@aol.com > To: ALLOWNDE-L@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <18d.182e826.296c810c@aol.com> > Subject: [ALLOWNDE] LOWNDES COURT HOUSE by Mildred Brewer Russell. > > --part1_18d.182e826.296c810c_boundary > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Hi, my name is gladys mchenry.
