Could anyone tell how to find a birth record...or ANY kind of record dating back at least to 1805? I am searching for ANY information on Obadiah D. TALLEY--(he was born in Guilford County, NC) in 1805 or 1806. One of his sons, Andrew Jackson TALLEY---I've been told was born in Tennessee in 1835, but really not sure of birthplace. On some lists, I am told that Andrew went by the name "Jack". Jack had only 2 children, sons. One was Andrew Sherman TALLEY--born in Illinois, I was told, in 1871. He went by the name Sherman on some lists. His brother, William David TALLEY, was my Grandfather, and I have been told that he was born in Illinois, also. He was born in 1876. On alot of lists, my line is incorrectly spelled as TALLY. I have found my line under TALLY when I couldn't get it under TALLEY!! If you could tell me HOW or WHERE to look for information, I would greatly appreciate it!! May God bless one and all. :-) Sincerely; Bonnie TALLEY Polston ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
