I'm looking for any information on Levie Alfred Mason born Feb 7, 1885 in
Red Level, Covington Co. Father was W.W Mason (Williams Wiley Mason?).
Married Fannie Mae Brown (DOB Jan 26, 1889, Russell Co., AL.), Father
William Benton, Mother Nettie Brown. They moved to Pensacola, FL., probably
in the 1950's. Any help, ideas would be appreciated. I'm just beginning the
research. These are my grandparents. Thanks, Ralph Mason

Dear Listers,
Several of us CARDEN researchers have been pulling our hair out (well, not
literally ) trying to sort out
our CARDEN lines as to where & when each one came into Alabama. We know
that some came in from TN and some from GA...but we don't know which are
which. It's such a tangle and not much documentation exists on some of
them. Our belief is that all of them were connected at one time or another
back in Virginia & NC/SC during the 1700's and in the pre-Revolutionary War
period.

I'm updating my Alabama genealogy website. If you have a personal homepage
with ANY Alabama ancestors listed, you're eligible to be linked on my site.
PLEASE check before you submit your site for consideration and make sure
that you have not already been listed. It saves me a lot of time--thanks!

I am new to this list but live in Lee County, AL, just out side of Phenix City. I found an old, apparently abandoned cemetery on Russell Co. 105 and Highway 80 West, right next to Dan's Hardware, Domino's Pizza, etc. and across from the Country Store (Chevron station). There are Williams, Allen, Burford, and other names in it. Does anyone have any interest in my transcribing it and posting it to this list?

I today purchased a cemetery transcription book which contains all the cemeteries except two in Russell County. I also saw a copy today in the Bradley Library in Columbus. If you need me to do lookups, I will.

I have today contacted a Mr. Don Evans and he said it is a cemetery that belongs to his family called the Evans Cemetery. Someone on the list has already told me the name of the cemetery. Mr. Evans has given me permission to go on the property for the purpose of transcribing the stones. Now I need to determine if there is a transcription available to us. Library - here I come! I also need to contact Mr. Evans's aunt, Mary Frank Williams Evans, age 90. She may have information about the unmarked graves
Pat,
I am interested in any cemetery in Alabama. I have had several Brownings
that died in Alabama and have not found their graves. Thank you in
advance.

Thanks for the positive responses. I am trying this morning to find out if there is a name for this cemetery (no one knows so far even though a Baptist minister who lives across the street has conducted a funeral there) or for sure if there is a transcription for it. I will get it online ASAP one way or the other. It is the least I can do for all those people out there who have worked so hard to get other things online.
