There are several different links on this page, all the way to the bottom. It may take you a while to explore all of my pages. Don't forget to come back and sign the guestbook if you haven't already.

Genealogy Gold Mine As you can tell from the lower parts of this page, I enjoy genealogy and am desperately searching for my family. These are the best sites I've found on the net so far for finding your "Long Departed Loved Ones". These sites are fun and productive. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted wading through junk, but these are the gold nuggets I found in the muck and mire.
June 30, 2000 I have found an incredible treasure. I already knew that the Perry County Court House has great records for genealogists, but I visited the Marion/Perry County Library and met Astrid Knudsen, the librarian, and she introduced me to the best cache of information on our dear departed from Perry County. She prides herself in keeping everything accessible and compact. She has wonderful reference books, census records, internet access, and hundreds of family trees in a file cabinet and on the shelves. Call or write the Perry County Commissioners and the Marion City Councilmen and tell them how invaluble this is so they will continue and increase the funding. They close early on Fridays so that the can be open from 7pm to 9pm on Tuesdays. This was a blessing for me. I found a lot of cemeteries I haven't done yet and I'm adding them to my page.
BOOKAHOLICS ANNONYMOUS..Great Book Recommendations for addicted, compulsive readers. This is my top 10.
HOLIFIELD HOME PAGE....Daniel Holifield and Mary Pye have hundreds of descendents. This page gives the story as I know it. This is part of an on-going quest to DOCUMENT this people, relationships and dates. Because of this page I've learned about the Pye side of my family, and this information has been added to this and other pages. Very soon links will be added to cover the Daniel and Mary Holifield children, grand children, great-grandchildren..etc. Find your line, give or receive proofs. Let's all work together on this.

SURNAME/CEMETERY INDEX....This is an index to learn where you can find specific surnames. If you find any errors, or can't find the name at the cemetery as listed, e-mail me. I've listed some surnames from a couple of cemteries I don't have on my site yet. You may notice that most of these aren't in alphabetical order. The reason for this is that I don't want to deny anyone the joy of the "hunt".
Marion Cemetery..This is a transcription of the tombstones in the Cemetery in Marion, Alabama as of 1960 and based on the work of Flora Dainwood England. NEW PAGES ADDED.....May 26, 2003. Only the back half left to update.

Misc. East Perry County CemeteriesMisc. Cemeteries of East Perry County, Including, Pitts/Thurmond/Deyampert, Stewart Family, Suttle Family, Legal/Plummer/Fowler Family Cathey/Locke, Ford/Jacobs/Aycockand Haggard/Dobynes Family Grounds Based on the work of Flora Dainwood England and me.
Fairview Presbyterian Church Cemetery Location of the family of Govenor Andrew Barry Moore. Based on the work of Flora Dainwood England. Updated Dec. 11, 1999 with the help of Carol Clark Kincaid.
Fellowship Cemetery Based on the work of Flora Dainwood England. On July 18, 1999, in wicked heat and alone I challenged the deer ticks and like a complete idiot copied all of the inscriptions in this cemetery...I had a senior moment and forgot I had transcribed Mrs. England's list, so I spent 4 hours doing work that had already been done. However, on comparision, I found a lot of graves in the woods and a lot of new graves too which aren't on Mrs. England's version. Because there are some stones I could not read and I suspect Mrs. England had them, I'm leaving both lists on the net, so you can compare, until I get over the shock of my own stupidity and combine the two files...so to get the new and "improved?" listing click here
Harper Family Cemetery Located on Hwy 14, between Marion and Greensboro.
