Trying to verify a William Sharp's marriage to a Jane Woodard around 1815-1816 in Lincoln County. There is a great possibility that they were married in LCT. From what I know there was some WOODARD's in Madison County, Alabama around that time also. Any help will be appreciated Bob Morrison

When was the Madison County, Census for 1880 held? Trying to tie down some approx. births of some SHARPS of Madison County. Thanks for the help everyone. Bob Morrison

I would like to thank everyone, for their response in my quest to help a fellow genealogist find Baggett's Fork, AL. I received many leads, and helpful places to search. I have forward all to Hugo. Thanks again, everybody!! Deanie

Do anyone know if there has ever been a mortality schedule printed for the years when the big Spanish Flu Epidemic struck? This would have been for 1917-9 or so.

Does anyone have the FTM Alabama Marriage CD (#248)? If so, would you please do a lookup for MOSER and MOSIER? I don't believe there are very many. I am most interested in the pre-1830 records. Thanks in advance! Donald

I have searched old maps, new maps and just can't locate it. It is supposed to be in one of the Alabama Counties that border Florida. My wife's Greatgrandmother Mollie Feaster or Ward or Anderson died there. Feaster was her maiden name, Ward and Anderson were married names and I don't know which one she went by when she died. I have tried to get a death cert. from Alabama but have not been sucessful. She moved to Baggett's Fork from Monroe Co. I have been trying to trace her roots back in South Carolina and found that all the Feasters there are kin. My problem is none of them have a girl named Mollie. I think now that Mollie is short for Mary Polly but I can't prove it. On the 1880 cencus she is listed as Mollie and her husband was Ward and had four children. I even have a photo of one of the children, John Ward b:1869 in Monroe Co. Ala. If I can find where she died I might be able to get the Death Certificate from Alabama and maybe --just maybe it would list her parents. My wife's Grandfather, Daniel James Melvin married Mollie Feaster's daughter Jimmie Eula Anderson. Thanks, Hugo >>

The only Mortality Schedule I have seen was Ms 1850. It was six months before and six months after the census. I don't know how it was taken but then again it may have been before and after a certain date. the death index is a state record. It would have to be since it list all deaths in the state. The one I saw was a book. Wanda

Key years, I suppose, but it seems almost penny-wise-pound-foolish. My 1850 AL Mortality schedule also includes the attending doctor (from death certificate, I suppose, the cause of death, and the duration of the disase (or whatever).Perhaps it includes next of kin--I'm not sure & I can't spot the book right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- I have been searching for a death date or obituary for Elizabeth (Lizzy) Damaris Holman for many years.

Are you looking for any wills from any locality or did you have in mind something more specific (Alabama only, the Southern states, etc.)?

It was my tenuous understanding that the mortality schedule comprised deaths in the year before the census was taken and that it was compiled by the census takers. If what you say is true, it implies a second crew of mortality enumerators who would have had to retrace the path of the census takers six months later. Can you clarify? Bill Gordon

Hello, I have been searching for a death date or obituary for Elizabeth (Lizzy) Damaris Holman for many years. She was 'released' from a church in Athens in Limestone Co. in 1896 (under the name E. D. Holman) and died before the 1900 census. I have never asked anyone to 'look it up for me', but I resorting to that now or else I may not find her date of death until I meet her 'up there'. I greatly appreciate your help and thank you. Linda Holman Swansson in San Diego

Thanks for the information. The six months in each direction makes sense, but I didn't know it. The book I have is the 1850 Alabama mortality schedule, broken out by counties. I'm sure there must be others, but I don't know how to locate them. Al

It is my understanding that the mortality schedule is for the period from 1 June of the year preceding the census until 1 June of the year in which the census is taken (e.g. 1 June 1859 until 1 June 1860).
