I plan to travel to Mobile late in the year to do research on my grandfather's people locally and would love to hook up with any distant cousins I might still have living in the area, but with whom my family has lost touch. Local family or family by marriage include: Myers Thomas Baumhauer Ramsay Kelly Dodds Our family was from the Whistler-Eight Mile area north of Mobile and our pre-Civil War land covered that area plus the land around Chickasabogue (today a county park, I'm told). I'm also interested in any information anyone might have on how I might go about getting our Myers Family Cemetery restored. It is curently within the precincts of the county park at Chickasabogue, but I've been told (am not sure if true) that legal rights to a family cemetery can never be sold. If so, I'd try to have it listed on the State Historic Register of Historical Places to see if I could further protect it or get financing somewhere for its restoration. It's in pretty bad disrepair and dates from 1849.
