At $20 per year NEAGS’ Membership Application dues include a quarterly, the NORTHEAST ALABAMA SETTLERS — a great resource. See the NE AL Settlers Excerpt Vol 50 No 4 for a glimpse of what can be gleaned. Accessible from the Main Menu.
A series of Death Notices from The Bessemer Journal, which was published in Bessemer, Jefferson County, Alabama from 1902-1909[1] were part of the January 2012, Volume 50, No. 4 NORTHEAST ALABAMA SETTLERS, the NEAGS quarterly (pages 23-26). Members of NEAGS receive the quarterly as part of their Membership Application.
Death notices & obituaries in those days provided far more information. Sometimes it can bring tears to your eyes. But such things can provide a lot of information to a family researcher.
Whether you are really into genealogy or just know someone who is, you’ve read or seen something about the release of the 1940 census. There are in-depth articles, short tidbits, blank census forms, tutorials on the 1940 Indexing Project — just tons of information scattered across the Internet.
The purpose of this section will be to provide you a central location for information about the 1940 census. Now admittedly it will be what I find, at least at first. Look for an RSS feed for this section. A RSS feed will allow you to know when content has been added to this section without you having to come to the site. How do you think I learn about all the 1940 info? 🙂 When the RSS feed is posted, I’ll include instructions on how to to use an RSS feed if you have no knowledge about RSS.
There are surprises in the 1940 census — even more than we thought there would be.
