Hi Sara, I was looking at the Dale, Alabama cemetery Inscriptions today at the Family Search Center. I had ordered it, anyway, there are a lot of Dykes buried their. A lot of Georgians went to Alabama. I know ours did on 2 different lines and both were in Georgia. Would you like me to see if any of them are your Dykes?
