Here are the lookups that were requested, the index is a surname only index. This book contains a brief history of the county, and then a brief history on each town in the county, each church and school, a business history, clubs and organizations, and family histories that were submitted by residents. Each family history has a title (such as Miller-Willis) and then the index is by surname and page only. If the family you are looking for was not still living in Alexander County in the 1980's there is a good chance they are not in the family histories. I purchased my copy from one of the editors, Louise Ogg. I believe you can reach her or her husband Russel at the Cairo Custom House where they volunteer. Using a net search I came up with this number for the Custom House: (618) 734-1019 They would know if/where additional copies of the book are for sale. I have two small children and work full time, so I apologize it take me a bit to do surname lookups. Please scroll down to the surname you requested.
