Cousins, I have missing ancestors in Blount and Tuscaloosa counties in Alabama, and have found e-mail lists to be a help in connecting with other cousins looking for the same ancestors. There was not a list focusing on these areas, so I started them for us at rootsweb. The lists will be for the area that is now, or used to be, included in the county. Some present-day counties other than Blount that were created (totally, or in part) from land once included in Blount county are Jefferson, Winston, Cullman, Marshall, Walker, and Etowah. The name of the Blount county list is ALBLOUNT. To join, send SUBSCRIBE in the message part of a post to ALBLOUNT-L-request@rootsweb.com (or ALBLOUNT-D-request for the digest) Some present-day counties other than Tuscaloosa that were created (totally, or in part) from land once included in Tuscaloosa county are Pickens, Lamar, Fayette, Walker, Jefferson, Bibb, Hale and Greene. The name of the Tuscaloosa county list is ALTUSCAL. To join, send SUBSCRIBE in the message part of a post to ALTUSCAL-L-request@rootsweb.com (or ALTUSCAL-D-request for the digest).
