Hi Wanda, Where can I find this death index?? Is it from the State, County, LDS, Where? Microfiche? Thank you, Kathy in Humboldt > The death index is a list of all deaths in the state. It has the county and place of residence, name and date of death usually in order alphabetical order and year. > Wanda

I have only seen one Mortality schedule also. It was 1850 Lafayette Co. MS. but, it had my husbands gggrandmother on it. I don't believe the libraries buy them very much. Of course it is only the people who died 6 mo. before or 6 mo. after the census is done. Wanda

Is this the index based upon death certificates issued, meaning they would only be for the current century? Gwen [email protected] wrote: > > The death index is a list of all deaths in the state.

Can someone look up a marriage in Madison county between George W. Duncan and Mary Smith btw. 1857 - 1860. Thanks, Karen Duncan Sedlecky

Excellent questions. I hope someone who knows will spell it out for us. It has been my presumption that "Death Index" was informal usage for the census "Mortality Schedule," drawn from the census itself. I'm completely at sea, though, when it comes to the bound and published "Mortality Schedules" that one can find for some states only--and only for some census years. The only one I own is the 1850 Alabama Mortality Schedule, and I've found it quite helpful. Now, where are the rest? In their absence, we're forced to rely on the handfull of "County Records" abstracts published by Marilyn Davis Barefield and others like her. These books have room for more source materithan a "regular" county history, but choices must still be made as to what to print and what to leave out. Maybe we can get one of the special interest chat groups to give us a 'talk" on the subject. How 'bout it, you guys? Al Hill

Hi List People, I need to know where to order Death Indexes, Death Records, Cemetery Listings, etc. I'm hunting and pecking. Don't know the exact date of death, just sometime after 1861, in northern Alabama. He was listed on the 1860 census though in NorthWestern Division, Madison Co., AL. (What exactly is a Death Index? Is that the mortality schedule from the census?) Kathy in Humboldt

Janelle, Are you able to receive Attachments; what kind of computer do you have? I can send it in Word Perfect or Word. If you have enough free RAM, I can send as an Eudora message. I have a Power MAC. I've been working on a so-called Register Report covering three generations of the Madison Co. COBB Family. Would you be interested in receiving it and adding to it or correcting as required. I am particularly interested in sources. My wife and I are going to Madison Co. in May for the DAR's placement of a marker on my gggg-grand father Ezekiel CRAFT's grave; and plan to stay a week to ten days researching in the Huntsville Court House & Library and possibly in the State Archives in Montgomery.

Hi, I'm looking for any information on the following: Robert THOMPSON, in Madison Co., AL records in very early 1800s. Also may have been in records for Limestone Co., Giles Co., TN or Benton Co., AL. ( Is he connected to a BRISTOW family? Did he have a son named Robert B. THOMPSON, or Thomas?) Rev. David THOMPSON, m. 1797 VA to Winifred Jones ELDRIDGE, and was in records in Madison CO.,AL, Limestone Co., AL and Giles CO., TN in early 1800s. If anyone knows of these THOMPSONS, please contact me. Thanks, Donna Walker Eddins [email protected]

Does anyone have a history time line of events as they would relate to the Madison county area starting about 1860 and going to 1900 or 1920? Possible thoughts would be one for general things and one for things as they would relate to females. Is there a URL that might have this listed? Thank you.

Hi! Can anyone lookup & copy two obits for me? I don't have easy access to the Huntsville paper. I am looking for Oscar J. Roberts (died 1 December 1971) and his twin brother W. Arther Roberts (died 16 April 1970). They were born on 22 January 1900.

School records are stored in the Madison Co. Courthouse (basement). I am not sure of the exact years. Contact Billy Harbin, County Court Clerk. If they do not have the years your need he could possibly tell you where they are stored. We recently went to look at some of the records. Hope this helps. Vera

To Jenkins and all of you interested in the Vine and Olive Colony in Demopolis: Do any of you have anything on John Washington Jenkins born S.C. 23 Jan 1812 but later of Madison Co. Al. then of Green County and Marengo Co. and perhaps Perry Co. Al. then in Texas in 1860. He or his wife or mother may have been associated with the Vine and Olive Colony at Demopolis. He married (1) Cyrene Grantham 26 Jan 1836 then (2) Nancy Elizabeth Barrett 5 Dec 1861 He and his large family were in Anderson, Grimes Co. Texas in 1860 when they were visted by Ella Rosa Carlin nee Jenkins, aged 20yrs., and Edward Jenkins aged 14 yr., both born La., who were accompanied by Emily Anderson aged 9 who was born in S.C.- Ella and Edward may have been visiting their uncle. Do any of you know of this family and perhaps the names of Ella and Edward's parents? They may have been connected to "Judge" Jenkins in Shreveport La. and/ or the Jenkins in Terrebonne Parish La. or they may have been originaly from from Orangeburg Co. S.C. or Charleston S.C. Ella Rosa Carlin always claimed to be a cousin in some degree of the Empress Eugene consort to Napoleon III of France. Eugenie's families names were de Montijo and Portocarrero and Guzman and her Spanish and French relations may well have been associated with the Bonapartist colonists in Demopolis I am also interested in the marriage of Maxilda Guillotte to Joseph E. Jenkins in 1864 at Terrebonne Co. La. and the Guillotte connection with the Vine and Olive colony at Demopolis. Also the Jenkins in Alabama generally and Texas. I would like to exchnge information if relevant. Colin Carlin, Bath, England

I have been searching for some time for the parents and siblings of Mary KILLINGSWORTH b abt. 1820 who m Feb. 18, 1844 to John Asaph HILL b 1815.They were living in NE Alabama before statehood in the Kennamer Cove area. They are both buried at Mt. Pisgah Cem. at Kennamer's Cove. I find John T. KILLINGSWORTH who wa a Private in North Carolina Constitutional Line, Rev. War. His memorial stone at Nelson Chapel Cem in Madison Co., Al. gives his birth and death dates as 1765-1820. Could this possibly be the father or Grandfather of my Mary KILLINGSWORTH? If anyone out there is researching the NE Alabama KILLINGSWORTH family I would love to hear from you. I have a good Historical Library in Polk Co.,FL but they don't have much on NE Alabama. Thanks, Patricia Camp-Mullis Lakeland, Florida
