Millie, You posted: <I want to encourage everyone to volunteer in your geographic area. Subscribe to the mailing list in the county where you live now. Even if you don't have a lot of time to spend at the library, you may just know of a local historian you could refer others too, you may know of a historical place nearby that someone is looking for, you may be able to help with directions to churches/cemeteries, etc.> What a wonderful idea! I'm ashamed to say I had never thought of it. I've received lots of help from folks like you and it is only fair to return the favor. It also just occurred to me that an ancestor I am tracing back to Virginia (and who is my brick wall) might have a connecting line of descendants looking for my ancestor who came to Alabama and we could possibly meet up on my local mailing list! An added incentive! I may take you up on your offer of cemetery photos another day. I don't have my info together right now. Thanks, Pam
