I am Annette Bame Peebles, the
coordinator for this county. Email me if you have data to add to this
page. My email can also be found on the 'Contact' page. This site is
being worked on so there will be links for the time being that do not
work, some things will be moved around as well but for the most part
things will stay the same, but please remember you can still add data
to the site as I work on it. I will be keeping the cemetery
photos where they are but if you have other cem photos with no index
photos of family members, buildings, documents, etc., I will be making
a photos page for those. If there is anything else you would like to
see added please let me know. Thank you.
I do not live
in Alabama and cannot research for you, but I will try very hard to
help. Thank you.
