I want to visit Cairo next week to look for records of my great grandfather , John Robbs, and my great great grandfather, James Robbs. Are both opened? I remember hearing something about the court house remodeling. I already have the 1870 census from there, plus marriage records, but no originals. I received these over the net. I'm looking for estate records and anything on the Goodma, Hutton, and Garaghty families. These are families the Robbs girls married into. Also, one of our men, Wm. Robbs married Armindy Craig. I don't know if they divorced or if she died. I have visited the cemetery where Rachel Robbs Goodman is buried. I have also visited the cemetery where James Robbs is buried. I've found all I can on the computer. Any help will be appreciated. Sharon
Hello Sharon, Have you come across anything on a Lizzie Goodman who married George N. Lauderdale on April 7, 1892 in Alexander County? One of my father's cousin's married an Elizabeth Goodman, Lizzie later married Henry Skiles, one of my father's cousins. I am also related to the Lauderdale family through my father's maternal line. I would very much like to find out where George fits in the Lauderdale line. Cindy L.
