Hi, I am new to the list and would like to share my family, or get info on my Fisher family. My grandfather William Lee Fisher was born July 14 1913 in Florence Alabama. He lived in AL most of his life. His father was William and mother Callie/Carrie Price. Apparently, William Sr. had died( i don't have dates)and Callie re-married. She married someone with the last name "NEELEY".My grandfather took on his step-dad's last name. What I am trying to find out is when William Sr. had died and when and who the "Neeley" was that Callie married. I think I found William Fisher Sr., Carrie P. and William L. on the 1920 census for Lauderdale co. St Florian district. It reads: FISHER, William age 54 white, Head of household b. TN, father b. TN, mother b. Arkansas. ------, Carrie P. age 47 white, wife b. MS mother and father b. in the US. ------, William L age 6 white, son b. AL I really can't read the occupation, but it looks like 'Farm Laborer' for both Carrie and William. I am just finding out that we are really Fishers and not 'Neeley'. I had heard rumors through the years that my grandfather went by the name 'Fisher', but i didn't think anything of it until i started doing research.It was confirmed by my great aunt that lives in Sheffield AL. She was best friends with my grandmother and she had told her that "Lee"(my grandfather) was born a Fisher and took on his step-dad's name when his mom re-married. She is in her 80s now and cannot recall what 'Neeley's' first name was and didn't know when William Fisher Sr. died. I am sorry this is so long, but i do not have any info on my Fisher line and would like to find out what line I came from. If anyone has heard of this family i would appreciate any info you can give me. Unfortunatley, there are so many William Fishers out there that i don't have enough info to sort out which is the right one. All of my grandfather's documents have the name NEELEY on them. I will send off for his birth certificate now that i know his correct last name( i sent off for Neeley, 7 times in vain!). If anyone can help, i would appreciate it! Thanks for listening! Again, i apologize for the long explanation. ===== Teresa Chicago IL Researching surnames:Crosslin,East,Fisher,Harris,Neeley,Price __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
