There's a site on www.MyFamily.com, named "South Alabama Kin," that may have a few connections you might be interested in. I can have the site send you an invitation if you are interested. The invitation consists of a form letter with a username and password, both of which you may change once you are registered. Send me an email requesting the invitation, listing your first and last name, the surnames and the county you are researching, even if it is Pike County.

Another site, a "cousin" to the MyFamily site, is at
www.groups.yahoo.com. When you get to that page, you may have to register for a yahoo username if you don't already have one. You may use your existing yahoo account in that case.

You can enter a search for SoAlaKin, then look for a "subscribe" link to gain admission without any invitation required. This Yahoo! site is good for queries while the MyFamily site works quite well for posting pictures and files.

I would like to sbuscribe to the SO ALABAMA ROOTS/KIN

please send me an invite to this list. thanks, eloise

Is this Joseph the son of Marcus N BARRON and Mary Ann S PERDUE (listed as 8 years of age in the 1870 census, pg 385, family #52)? I don't have any additional information on the BARRON line but can share some on the PERDUE side if it is.

Joseph Barron of Pike County served in TWBTS as
Pvt, Co C, 46th Ala Inf Rgt; Co C organized in
Pike in Mar 1862 and mustered at Greenville in
Butler County in Apr 1862; I find no trace of
Joseph following the war.

Pike Co. Simmons Family - The earliest Simmons in my line came from NC to Pike CoAll in the early 1800's. He built a grist mill on Brown's Branch. His name was Bob Isaac Simmons, III married to Elizabeth Fowler. I am through Bethel, Early Monroe and Allen Monroe Simmons, my grandfather. Before joining I would like to know if we are from the same Simmons line. Suzanne

Dorothy - I am so sorry I haven't been able to respond to you for this long - at any rate I will need an email address to send an invitation. This board hides email addresses. Please send your request to me at the following: jsimm3581 at (use the "@" sign, no spaces) yahoo.com

Thanks.

Suzanne, I don't have any of those Simmons names in my database - wish I did. Anyway, the sites I referred to are not exclusively Simmons sites - they are for those who have relatives in any of the South Alabama Counties. So please check them out. If you send me your email address I can have the sites send you an invitation. My email is jsimm3581 at (use the "@" sign - no spaces) yahoo.com
