Franklin County, Alabama
Connecting
Surnames
| My genealogy started with my immediate
surnames: Glasgow, Hester, Tompkins, Hooper. Then the next ancestor
surnames: Todd, James, Thompson, Bolton. And on to: Girffith, Henry,
Britton, Boyles, Richardson, Crow (Crowel), Hunnicutt, Jones, and so on. |
| After compiling my data, I placed it on-line at
RootsWeb in the late 1990's. Since that time, many surnames have been added to my
database through contacts on-line, through the U. S. Postal Service and personal
research . I soon realized that my database was encompassing many surnames of
settlers who came to Franklin County, Alabama. As my database progressed, I
have continued to add Franklin County Surnames through contacts, census and other sources. |
| Most of my personal ancestry had already been
researched and data had been passed down through family group sheets and compiled
information in old books, papers or Bibles. I am disabled and income prevents me
from research as I would truly like to do, so I contribute what I can through
compiling what I have and sharing it with others. Errors are corrected as time goes
on and they are found. New data is added in the same manner. Throughout this
endeavor, I have met many wonderful people who wanted to share their family research
through my database on-line. |
This has been an extremely rewarding project for
me and I have received much enjoyment from the new technology of sharing through the Internet. If one
person has been helped by this, then it has been well worth my time.
