Ref. to CD509 look ups--will principal please respond explaining whether this is aCD for sale, or is there a charge for lookups? I am researching The Reverend Lemuel Burkitt of Bertie County, N.C. 1740 to early 1800s. His wife may or may not have been of Indian extraction. His father was named Thomas. Please respond directly to Jim Birkitt, Jbirk45386@aol.com Thanks

There is a man in Arab, AL, which is very close to Cullman, who has researched the AL Davenports extensively. His name is Dr. Leon Marsh. Sorry I don't have any other information on him....Roy Davenport

David It depends on what part of AL your family came from as to whether we may be related. There is an elderly man named Dr. Leon Marsh in Arab, AL. He has done research on the Davenports for years and knows as much as anybody. We are related because his mother was the granddaughter of my gggrandfather Willis A. Davenport who was from Greenville, SC. A bunch of the S.C. Davenports moved to AL in the mid-1800's so yours could very well be that same group. I don't have a number for Dr. Marsh but you can call information in Arb and get it...Good Luck...Roy Davenport

David & Heather: Thanks for the prompt reply. Because you are starting from square one, it's easier to research one couple at a time, starting with your own parents first, then your grandparents Kenneth Davenport and Rose Anna Russel. After you have what you're looking for on them, then branch out to one set of great-grandparents at a time. This makes your project more manageable. Probably the first thing to do, if you haven't already, is obtain both your grandparents' death certificates from the Dept. of Public Health in Montgomery, 205-261-5033. They have birth & death records since 1908. This might possibly give you their parents names & some other information. Then I'd get the application for both their Social Security numbers. There will also be some genealogical information on that such as their parents names, birthplaces, dates, etc. Since you have the number, I think it will only cost $7.50. They are in Baltimore, check the Social Security website for address. Then you might try writing or contacting the Southeast Alabama Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 143, Dothan, Al. 36302. Ask them for the name of the public library in Ozark and see what they have also. Then get their obituary, if you don't already have it, from the local newspaper. The library can tell you where to contact them. If Kenneth & Rose Anna were married in Cullman, try contacting the County Clerk in Cullman County for their marriage records. They're located at 500 2nd Avenue SW, Cullman Al. 36049. Start with the period 1-2 years before their first child was born. These are two good Alabama websites to check out: http://www.rootsweb.com/roots-l/USA/al.html http://segenealogy.com/al.htm This will give you a good start and keep you busy for a while! Then you'll be hooked like the rest of us! Good luck and happy searching! MargoBelle

To Heather and David: I would be glad to try and look up some things for you, but it takes more information than your letter gives to do this. Do you have any idea when & where Kenneth was born and died? What was his wife's name, when & where was she born and died? About when and where were they married? What are their children's names, including your father's. I realize you probably don't have all this information, but any additional information you can supply will help others to help you.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but here is a site for researching Loyalist ancestors, those that took the British side in the American Revolution: http://www.royalprovincial.com/index.htm MargoBelle

These dates are too old for my line, but copied them in hopes they help someone. All are Oregon marriages: Ella Davenport & J. M. Thompson 6-10-1886 D. D. Davenport & H. C. Bailey 7-9-1880 Dr. E. H. Davenport & Sarah W. Fiester 7-3-1851 W. E. Davenport & Isabelle C. Jones 1-1-1890

John Scott, Thanks very much for your information. That is about where I thought that it might have been located. I will keep searching.
