Some deeds have names and ages; others may have only names. One could order the microfilm of these two deed books (from the Mormon Church) which are on the same roll and abstract them. I have other projects that I am working on and do not have the time to abstract all of them. At some point, I will move onto Deed Books C and D and make a similar list. I hope that someone is motivated and helped by this list.

Going through my old files, I see that in "1803 Lorenzo Dow, who claimed to be a Methodist, did his first preaching in Alabama. Methodist missionaries were sent by the South Carolina conference into the Tombigbee area in 1809. Today, some Methodist records for north Alabama churches are housed at Birmingham Southern college". Does anyone know what all these records might show? "The Catholic records start 1699. Most parish records are maintained by the local parish." Do the local churches have these records? Any that I have gotten in the past have been from Baton Rouge, LA. The first ordained Episcopal minister in the state was licensed in 1764. The WPA Historical Records Survey in 1939 compiled a volume surveying the records of the Episcopal church in AL. Parish records are maintained by the parish. The Baptist was started 1808 with records at Samford University Library, Birmingham and the Presbyterian in 1818 maintain records by local congregations.. Has anyone found any genealogy information (birth, marriage, etc.) at any of these places? Marlene

Kimberly, I got a large road atlas from State Farm Ins. and they are free. I use it a lot for many things in genealogy and can mark it up to my heart's content. You might try that; they usually have a new supply around the first of the year. In the meantime, Sumter is surrounded by Greene, Hale, Perry, Dallas, Marengo and Choctaw. > Hello List!
