Listmembers, I have come up with an idea that I think will help us all find our elusive ancestors. I have decided that every Friday and Saturday will be "Sharing Weekend". The rules are as follows: 1) Put your surnames (along with dates and places if you like) in the subject line. 2) Only 3 surnames per message, but you can send as many messages as you want. 3) The message body can be anything.....a list of names, a formal query, something copied from your genealogy program, etc. 4) Do not post info on living people. That's it. Sharing Weekend will begin Friday, 15 June, 2001 and will occur every weekend until I say otherwise. I hope this will benefit all of us. Everybody have fun and happy hunting! Sincerely, Kim Ivey kivey@companet.net Listowner

I'm on vacation from June 13th to June 26th. I may check mail if I obtain access to a computer while on my trip. I'll read my mail the week of the 26th and reply if necessary. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

Listmembers, I would like to remind all of you that if for any reason you have the auto-reply feature of your e-mail program turned on, please make sure you either a) exclude the mailing lists you are on (if that's possible) or b) unsubscribe from mailing lists until you are ready to start reading your e-mail again. For those of you that don't know, an auto-reply is like one of those "I'm on vacation" messages you can have sent in reply to any e-mail you receive (like the one that we recently saw on this list). Not all e-mail programs have this feature. If you would like more info on auto-reply e-mail me privately or check the documentation that came with your e-mail program). I am more than happy to answer any technical questions you may have. I may not always know the answer, but I'll do my best. Thank you, Kim Ivey kivey@companet.net Listowner

Hi all, I'm hoping to find someone who has access to the 1830 Marshall Co. AL. I'm desperately looking for the surname with variations: HOYL/HOYLE/HOYAL/HOIL/HOWEL. I'll take any given name. Thanks, Linda

Dr. Frank NIXON is said to have settled in Marshall Co. from GA in the 1840s where Nixon Chapel is located. His wife was Elizabeth BROOKS, whose father was probably Jacob. They had several children, one being Volly, wife of John Cox, who is said to have run the post office at Nixon Chapel in the 1890s. Another was James A., whose wife was Regina Stone/Stane/Starnes?, m. 1865 in Marshall Co. Regina died in Marshall Co. in 1918 and James A. died there in 1919. I have more info to share with anybody who connects.. John

I am a grandson of Gurthey Elizabeth Johnson who was b1889 in Kennamer, Marshall Cty, Alabama. The following chart includes her siblings, parents and grandparents. None of the research shown below is original to me. I am indebted to the hard work of other Johnson descendents. Although there were numerous other Johnson families in the area, no connection has been shown. Most (or all) of our Johnson families left Marshall Cty before 1894, moving first to Dallas, Texas, then to Oklahoma.

Can anyone tell me what Alabama county ( or counties) is believed to have the "Headwaters of the Black Warrior River?" John, Merced, Calif.

I had about twenty requests for this article describing starvation conditions in the North Alabama area. It is from The Huntsville Advocate, June 30th 1866. The article starts on the second column. The article had to be scanned three times. The 1st scan is the top of the first page, the second is the bottom, the last is the back. I have not transcribed this and there are parts you may not be able to make out. I did blow it up so that it can more easily be read.

Hi After reading your message concerning the book Sabre abd Scalpel, by John Allan Wyeth M D. I found a eletronic copy online at http://docsouth.unc.edu/wyeth/wyeth.html#wyeth1 Because of some of my personal family history I am very interested in this frist person account of Marshall county in this period. My ggrandmother was the result of a rape during this period . I have not had time to more than just glance at the book but am looking forward to getting into it. Thanks so much for bring this book to our attention.

Is anyone familiar with the Cheek Reservation located in Marshall County AL in the years around 1880-1890 or so? It was a Cherokee Reservation and was just NW of the Gunter Reservation and SE of the Thompson Reservation. Also, I am searching for any information concerning my great grandparents, Robert E (Dock) WILKINS and Fannie FLOYD WILKINS. Primarily their time was spent in GA where both were born, all of their children were born in Chattooga Co, GA except for one, Earnie WILKINS born 12-15-1887 on the Cheek Reservation in Marshall Co, AL. I do not know where they were after they left the reservation, but I do know that the entire family was in Bossier Parish, LA in 1910, per the Federal Census for that year. In 1910, Robert E Wilkins was 60 years old. Robert E (Dock) WILKINS parents were alleged to have walked the Trail of Tears, but I am not able to find out their names thus far, so anyone with help or suggestions of where to look will be appreciated. My search has been a long and difficult one, so I don't expect it to get any easier!! But, 3 years ago when I started all I know was my own grandfather's name and nothing else, so progress is being made!!! Thanks for any information, websites, or suggestions! Brenda Wilkins Hudson
