I picked up a couple of interesting sites from the Georgia Mailing List, so thought I'd share them just in case you missed them. ============= Georgia Newspaper Project (also listed on our Newspaper page) http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/aboutgnp.html =============== Carol Middleton <c.middleton@worldnet.att.net> Hello to all. I have placed online this week the ALABAMA MARRIAGE INDEX. I know many Georgia folks also have folks in Alabama. So please send me your Alabama marriages / unions. No living persons please. To facilitate the entries, I must have them sent in a certain format, see below. I would like the groom's and bride's SURNAMES in ALL CAPS, plus the county where married and the date (or as close as you have got). You may include the parents / security / surety and minister / official if you wish. At the end of the entry, add your email address in <brackets>. Please put MARRIAGE INDEX in the subject line of your message. Here is an example of an entry for the Grooms Index: James A. HIGHTOWER married Nancy HUMPHREY on 6/14/1838 with E. L. Moore as security with J. H. Schroebel officiating, Monroe Co. AL. <c.middleton@worldnet.att.net> and then the entry should be juggled for the Brides' Index with the bride's name first: Nancy HUMPHREY married James A. HIGHTOWER on 6/14/1838 with E. L. Moore as security with J. H. Schroebel officiiating, Monroe Co. AL. <c.middleton@worldnet.att.net> (fyi: these are my gggrandparents and I am looking for their parents) You might wish to visit the INDEX to see how it is set up before you submit your marriages. You might even find a long lost someone! I hope you will participate. This will be a useful tool for those with families in Alabama. Here are the urls (and they are NO-COOKIE Geoplus sites): MARRIAGES of ALABAMA INDEX: The GROOMS http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/6247/algrm1.html#anchor38218 MARRIAGES of ALABAMA INDEX: The BRIDES http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/6247/albrd1.html#anchor1382924 ============================Vital Records========== I have recently restructured my Vital Records Information web pages to make them easier to use and understand. They contain information on how and where to obtain vital records (such as birth, death, marriage and divorce records) for every territory, state and county in the U.S. Check them out when you get a chance...
