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.
