Hello, Does anyone know if there were coal mines in NE Alabama or NW Georgia in the 1800's? I have found on the census several of my ancestors listed as working in 'coaling'. Thanks, Patsy Looking for TANNER family in this area. http://home.earthlink.net/~davisdwd davisdwd@earthlink.net LIFE IS UNCERTAIN, EAT DESSERT FIRST! ICQ # 15893205
