FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Alabama
Confederate Service Cards
On-line database, also available on self-service microfilm. This series
contains information about individual soldiers from Alabama and was
compiled from original sources such as muster rolls, pension files, and
records at the National Archives. Service cards typically include the
name of the soldier, his home county, his age at the date of his
enlistment, the date and place of enlistment, and the company and
regiment. Cards may also include a list of the engagements the soldier
took part in; whether he was killed, captured, or wounded; and date of
parole. The source of information is often cited. Arranged
alphabetically by surname.
Alabama
History Timeline
This website should give the reader an understanding of early Alabama
History. When a genealogist encounters a "brick-wall" in their research, an
understanding of the history of the state, county, or town at the time their
ancestor was living may bring an understanding as to where the researcher
should next set engage their research skills.
