Hi, Genealogists! When you get a chance, please stop by my Alabama genealogy forum and post your queries for your Alabama ancestors. There are thousands of Alabama SURNAMES listed, so please look through to see if your "cousins" have been there and posted to you. If you want to post your own queries, you need to register first (it's free); but you can read through the other queries without registering: http://forums.about.com/ab-huntsville//messages?lgnF=y&msg=463.1 Please take a moment to browse through them and check the surnames--you might find a long lost cousin or two! You are invited to join us on Monday nights for Alabama state chats: http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm 9 pm Eastern; 8 pm Central; 7 pm Mt.; 6 pm Pacific If you've never been to a chat and need instructions, just send me an email and I'll mail you step-by-step instructions. If you'd like to receive a personal reminder each week, let me know and I can add you to my private list. Good luck in your searches! Jean Brandau huntsville2@comcast.net
