Laura, I am from Elmore County, Alabama (15 miles from Macon) and am descended from the Mims family. I was down there last year researching at the Macon County Courthouse & can give you info. on the state of records as of that time. The state of timber rattlers in Alabama is as it always has been - if you are going rambling in deserted graveyards, wear boots, long pants, and don't put your hands or feet anyplace you can't see. Also beware of water moccasins - they rarely are found far from a stream, but approach even small creeks and ponds with caution. E-mail me at sehoytwo@aol.com & I'll give you what I found on the Mims. Suzanne Gorey

Hi all I will be traveling to Macon county in July from Burbank, WA. Going to look for old family cemeteries and go through the courthouse records etc. Need some guidance. Seems like the last time I was there, August 1974, there were rattle snakes in the Shorter-LaPlace areas. So I know to wear boots and jeans! I plan to visit my grandparents graves in Notasulga, go over to Lochapoka in Lee Co, and see many more ancestors graves. Dad was an only child that survived infancy, and he left Macon county in 1943. I sure wish I could go to that CLOUD reunion in Atlanta in September as my maiden name is CLOUD and Dad is Hamilton Warren (Stormy) Cloud, but time restraints make it impossible. Flying to Nashville July 12th and staying between Nashville-Birmingham-Montgomery-Macon county until the 22nd. Tell me what all records I should dive into! Laura Alabama surnames include: CLOUD, WARREN, HAMILTON, MIMS, HOWARD, ROBERTS, GLENN, LEDBETTER, BROWN, MOORE, STEMBRIDGE, SWEARINGEN, JOHNS(t)ON, WOOD, GRAHAM related names include: PARRISH, HANNON, HODGE, WILSON, BOYD, HADEN, JORDAN, BARTON, BANGHAM, DAVIS, ALEXANDER, WARD, GARNER, DEMPTON, GREENWOOD, BAILEY, LEWIS, CAMPBELL, HULL, ROBERTSON, YARBROUGH and many more

It’s time to make your plans to attend one of the best kept secrets in the South: two summer days devoted to genealogy research, learning, and networking. We continue to schedule this Workshop during the week when many families plan reunions, homecomings or family picnics. We hold it in the facilities of the South Carolina State Archives, which is just “down the road” from several major Southern and Carolina research facilities. We plan activities that will appeal to the beginner and the expert. We focus on things that are important to people who volunteer their time to help others enjoy family history and genealogy. And of course, we love it when “long lost” cousins are discovered during the Workshop. Here are the “basics” about the workshop and a special session for the public. And don’t forget to visit the SCGS website for updates about the program, registration materials, and hotel reservations - http://www.scgen.org/ ________________________________________ The 33rd Annual Workshop of the South Carolina Genealogical Society (SCGS)* will be held Friday and Saturday, July 9th – 10th, at the South Carolina Archives and History Center, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia. This year’s Workshop has a special session “Treasures from the Attic” which is open to the public. It begins on Friday at 10:00 and continues through the early afternoon. This is your opportunity to have a one-on-one consultation with experts in the history and preservation of family heirlooms. Individuals with family Bibles, photographs, quilts, documents, military memorabilia and other family heirlooms will be matched with an expert from either the South Caroliniana Library, South Carolina State Museum, or the Lexington County Museum for a consultation. Harvey S. Teal, author of Partners With The Sun: SC Photographers, 1840 – 1940, will also be available to examine antique photographs. Experts will guide individuals in the “next steps” to take in preserving family heirlooms. A small fee of $5.00 per item is requested to defray the costs of the event. Advance reservations may be made to insure adequate time is available with appropriate experts. However, SCGS and its partners will try to accommodate “walk-ins” on a first-come, first-served basis. (If you can’t make the Workshop, but have a relative who wants help in preserving heirlooms or other sentimental items from a family or organization – this is the place to send them for assistance.) The Genealogy Session begin with Registration at 12:00 noon on Friday. Friday’s afternoon sessions begin with SCGS Workshop’s featured speaker, Tony Burroughs. Here is a listing of presenters and sessions for Friday afternoon. Pat Crowe (Preserving Family Memories), Sherry Cawley (Beginning Genealogy), Dr. Lloyd Johnson (Gideon Gibson: Colonial Free Person of Color), Horace Harmon (Genealogical Research Through Textiles), Steven D. Tuttle (SC Archives On-line), Brent H. Holcomb (German Research in SC), John H. Smith (NC Religious Repositories), and Brenda J. Smothers (Genealogical Case Study: SC to AL). When you finish, join us at the Speakers’ Reception and a Booksigning. Then perhaps top your evening off with dinner and late night “real live chats” with other participants. On Saturday morning, we’ll begin with some early morning networking. We can confirm at least one roundtable at this point, knowing others may develop in the coming weeks. The African–American Genealogical Roundtable will featuring Tony Burroughs, Brenda Smothers and Scott Wilds. Saturday’s opening general session will begin at 9:30 a.m. The sessions on Saturday will feature nationally recognized speakers including Harvey S. Teal (History of SC Photography), Tony Burroughs (Identifying Slave Owners). Other presenters will include Chloe Tonney, Shaunette Crawford and Kenneth H. Thomas, Jr. as well as speakers from Friday’s sessions. Saturday’s include: Beginning Genealogy, Fundraising for Genealogical Programs and Projects, Family Legends, On-line African – American Genealogy, SC Equity Case Study, SC Genealogical Records in Virginia, and Organizing Paper Files in Computer Age. Numerous displays featuring genealogical books, software, maps, charts, and information from all areas of the state will also be featured. The cost of pre-registration is $22.00 for SCGS members and $27.00 for non-members. Registration fees include all workshop materials and access to the Archives Research Room on Saturday (normally closed to the public). A catered lunch on Saturday is offered for an additional $8.00.

My gggraandfather, Isaac Jackson, was born in Alabama in 1825. According to the 1880 census both parents were born in Georgia. Isaac married my gggrandmother, Missouri Abigail Harriss, in Coosa County, Alabama May 5, 1850 and in November 1850 they are censused in the home of Henry & Delilah Jackson in Talapoosa County, Alabama. Henry was shown to be 62 on the 1850 census. I found where a Henry Jackson married a Delila Gordon in 1809 in Greene County, Georgia. I am trying to find if this is my Henry & Delilah Jackson. If the 1850 census is correct Delila would have been a very young bride. According to a first cousin of my grandfather, my gggrandfather was Isaac Francis Jackson. However, his tomb marker in Gonzales County, Texas shows his name as Isaac Franklin Jackson, according to the Gonzales County genweb site. No date given but he died between 1890 and 1900. Missouri died in Alabama before the move to Texas, probably Mongtomery or Macon County, Alabama.

They are my grandparents. I'm not sure which county in Alabama they lived in. I was adopted and have found my birthmother. Her maiden name was Sarah Ann Evans and her death certificate shows her parents names were Jessie Evans and Blanche Denny. She was born in 1927, was white, and her SSN shows it was issued in Alabama. I tried to get her birth certificate from the health department, but they said I'd need her parents full names and where she was born. I know all she had was one older sister, but don't know what her name is. You can email me at rdf@cableone.net.
