2. The Heritage of Russell County book [1]
Well All, I received my book on Sat. It is big, It is very interesting, haven't read all of the articles about my family yet. I did find a mistake. ON page 282, there is a picture at the top left .

I want to go back and read Pam's email again. She mention having Birth Cert with the name D... something. I didn't know they issued Birth Cert back then. I have hard enough time finding death certs.(If I miss understood Pam, I will correct my statement>) My gr gr grandpapa owned slaves and every slave born carried his name. There is also a town named Woulard's Bend, because there were so many blacks that carried his name. Among the slaves there were many mulattos , but there was never birth certs wi

If and I say if. until I research further and see if the Johnson's gang and Maj-Gen Nathan Bedford Forrest were close in any wayand they may have joined the KKK wih Maj.-Gen Nathan Bedford Forres

10. Re: Russell County Heritage Bk [1]
Sandra, I agree with everything you stated and I know that all the work that goes into creating a Heritage Book or any book as far as that, Is hard work. However, Genealogy is hard enough as it is with all the errors we continue to accept. As much as the heritage Book costs I think we shouldn't condone or accept anything less than they would expect from us. When they have writing in Black and white (speaking of print and not color) there shouldn't be blatant errors. Someone should accept the blame fo
11. Heritage Book [1]
Thank you for the responses. I've been very busy with work and travel, but could not "close the book" on this one without setting the record straight. - I repeat what I said in my orig email, that I appreciate having my family story placed in the book. I do appreciate the work that went into the book. It was a massive undertaking. - I still hope that greater accuracy & care goes into future books as they are historical records for generations yet to come. - In my original email I did not say my Gr gran
12. William Pitts [1]
I am seeking information on the family of William PITTS and Mary SOLOMON. Mary was born in 1858 possibly in Dale County Alabama. She was enumerated in the household of her father Rev. John Wesley SOLOMON in 1870 in Seale, Russell County Alabama. Living in Montgomery during the War Between the States. William's family may have founded Pittsview or Pittsburg Alabama. They were probably married in the 1870s. If anyone knows anything about Mary's siblings Emmett W., who are his children. William M. born in 1860
13. Reese/Clark [1]
Does any one have a Mary Parthenopy Reese in their datafiles. She would have been my gr-gr-gr- grandmother. I have she married Rev. Benjamin W.Clark ,17 Apr. 1827, That is all I have on her. I do know that they had several children, I also have those names, and that they married in and with the Kimbroughs and Rees/Reeses, which is my connection to. But that was on my Reese side, Her daughter was (my gr-gr ) grandmother, Mary Jane Clark (Gibson)That is the connection on my Gibson side. >Apparently he(Benjam
14. Re: [GAMUSCOGEE] Heritage Book [1]
Pam. White people for the most of it has kept up with their ancestors from the git go. From my ancestors in Salam, Alabama, both paternal and maternal were born in 1794 and 1797 They were in Salem , Alabama by the 1830s. On this set of ancestors alone we have letters, deeds, oral stories, death certs., marriages lisc. Church memberships, Tax list. Most of us thru our ancestors have been clinging to Genealogy for two hundred years each generation after the other saw that our heritage was passed d
15. Whoops, my mistake. [1]
Pam wrote: My Grandmother's father, according to her death certificate was J. C. Drake of Drakes Cove Alabama. I can only assume that because Mr. Drake was white that they instead chose to print J. C. Duke. I guess I fail to understand why some still can't respect Afro Americans enough to at least let history reflect the truth in 2003. I understand why family members di not speak of what happene! Sorry, my mistake. She did write death certificate and not birth certificate. When in Alabama were

Hello list I too received my Russell County Heritage Book after a more than 2 year wait. I'm pleased to see my ancestors names in print, however, I was grief stricken to see the under-representation of Afro Americans. I glanced the book over, but only saw 2 pictures of Afro Americans. And my article was changed. My Gr Grandmother's picture was sent in, but not included. My Gr Gr Gr Grandmother's birth date was shown as 1870 when it was 1815. (I know because of several documents I have, including the
17. Re: Russell County Heritage Bk [1]
Pam, I received my ancestor's County Book from another County and there were several errors in my families alone. and I am white. I have never seen a County History Book 100% correct., My Missississippi County Book, again had several errors written about my ancestors, alone. I am sure the color of your skin had nothing to do with the errors. If you would talk to others you might see there were errors in the white ancestors , as well I know you are disappointed, but that is no reason to start po

P.S. I live in Columbus, Ga. and most of my maternal and paternal ancestors are all from Lee and Russell Counties, Alabama. The rest from Mississippi. This is why I answered Pam's email. My roots are in Alabama and so are my husband's family. Sandra

20. Re: Russell County Heritage Bk [1]
You are correct. There are many mistakes in the book. I didn't think it was because I was white though. They had a lot of material to go through and as you said many hours. Even with the errors, I am happy to see it in print. Larry
