My family has roots in Sprott. I have been searching my Fathers family- Moore/Sanders since Feb/2008. Sprott is a hard to find any records.
I also have been searching my Mother's family from Bibb county. Surnames Anderson/Lightsey.
My parents moved to Indiana from Alabama in 1946. I know there were Andersons in Detroit, Flint, Michigan Chicago, and Indiana.I remember some of the names of people that moved from the same area as my parents. Some of the names were Rutledge, Bray(have a obit of Joseph Nathan bray jr.),
I also remember seeing the Goree, Heard, and Abercombie(sp?) as neighbors in the census when researching the Moores. So they had to be related or neighbors.
My grandfather Jim Moore lived to be 102 yrs. old ,died in sprott. But I can't find a lot of info for him.
I am like you searching for roots in Sprott/Severe, perry county. I have so many questions,hope you can make sense out of my post.
If we don't have a connection maybe we still can help one another find information.
Hoping to connect some dots.

Perry County has some nice little genealogy sites on line. Almost a complete cemetery listing on line is avaiable of every cemetery including small family cemeteries. I have Sanders in my family but they settled in the northwest corner of Perry County. Sprott is in east Perry County.

Do search for Perry County Alabama Genealogy sites and Perry County Alabama Cemeteries. I will almost bet that you will find some help. If not, you can you can give me your email and I will send the sites to you.
