I am still searching for information on my ancestors from Mobile, Al. I have seen the census records, so I know they were there at one time, but I have since hit a dead end. I have an old thread on this site "popes in Mobile,AL" with names and stuff. Any leads would be more than helpful. My grandmother is approaching 90, and not much help.

Hi, Am new at this, but, my gr grandfather was born in 1858 in Indian Creek Pike, Ala. Hope this helps, please let me know. Thomas Pope

I'm from NY, so I don't know how close the two areas are to one another. I know that my family was instrumental in the mardi gras celebrations down there. The furthest back I can go is Nicholas Pope. My grandmother confirmed that we are related to the Pope Sisters, who were the black answer to the Andrew sisters in the 1930's and 40's. If any of this rings a bell, I'd appreciate any info that you may have. thank you.

I am a Pope and have lived in Mobile, AL most of my life. It appears that the majority of the Popes that located to Mobile are, in one way or another, somewhat closely related to either the Popes of Marengo County, Alabama or the Popes of Wilkes County, Georgia. ~~ Roy D. Pope, Jr.

Hi Roy - My line of Popes came down to Wilkes county, GA also. I don't know which ones moved on to Mobile. I am particularly interested in finding out whose family Elijah Pope came from. (father of Josiah Pope with Frances Compton). TomPopeB
