Kemis, There is always an archaeological survey of the dam sites before construction begins. Cemeteries that are to be relocated have to be researched and documented. And moving them has to be documented. You might try contacting the University of GA at Athens, GA. I believe that is where the records of the West Point Dam survey are housed. Ancestor Files Research Center is a long story!! Briefly, for the past 26 years I have gathered any material known on Heard Co., GA and Randolph Co., AL (both of which lost their records in the 1890's) and have files on every surname that has ever been in any records pertaining to these counties. I also gather material on Chambers Co., AL (I am the caretaker of the Chambers Co. List and Message Boards). I have published several books on Heard and Randolph and I am now trying to get many of the items I have collected over the years, especially the cemetery records. You are welcome to come up to see the files and I do have a fairly large research library here, since I work full time also just let me know when you want to come up and I will clean off my desk (sometimes it gets pretty deep on it with notes and files).

Lynda, would like to know what books you have published about Randolph Co., Al., if they are still available, and how much? Also, do you have information on the internet. I'm looking at the Henry and Rainey families. Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynda S.
