Maynard & all, just send an email to Bob (Robert Scott Davis) & tell him you'd like to be added to his list for his Genealogy News From Wallace State newsletter. You can reach him at: robert.davis@wallacestate.edu Some of y'all may have heard him speak at genealogy conferences & may have seen his books, including his "Researcher's Library of Georgia History" and "Georgia Black Book" & he was co-author with Silas Emmett Lucas on "The Families of Burke Co, GA, 1755-1855: A Census." My recollection is fuzzy, but I think he is the head the Genealogy Dept at the Wallace State Community College's library (or perhaps head of the entire library?). The college is in Hanceville, Alabama, north of Birmingham. From their website: ...six story building ... The Family and Regional History program is located on the fifth and sixth floors of the library building. It includes an extensive and growing research collection. The Wallace State College Library was the first non-Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints library allowed to borrow directly from the holdings of the Genealogical Society of Utah, Including some three million records and books from around the world. Equipment and assistance are available for the copying of old family photos. Local records of interest are also microfilmed by the college. The Wallace State Library is the place to visit for research in Alabama or the Southeast. Genealogy can be reached by dialing 256-352-8263. John M.
