Alabama World War One Draft Cards

The records of the 30 Spurlock men from Alabama who filled out draft cards for World War One are now online in the Research / Military / World War One area of the SFA website.

SFA Website Update

I'm pleased to announce that with the exception of the Census records, the new format for the SFA website is in place. The census pages is the largest area of the website and I will get around to modifying those pages but I feel like there are some higher priorities at the moment. The week between Christmas and New Years will be spent adding new data to the site, and then I'll get to work on the SFA Journal issue that should be out around the 15th. More on the Journal latter this week!

Spurlock - Barger Connection

I received the following email this norming from Linda Roberts:

"Believe the Spurlock/Barger interfaces with my line of John William Barger
from Pittsylvania Co, VA to Gallatin/Saline Co, IL. He married Mary
Catherine Rhine and had numerous children. My husband is related to the
Barger/Rhine family from several sources including Coffee, Cable and several
more.

There were certainly numerous Spurlock families in the Raleigh/Galatia,
Saline Co, IL.

I am interested in corresponding with anyone within your organization that
has the Barger/Rhine connection."

If anyone can assist Linda, she may be contacted at lroberts13@cfl.rr.com

Here we go again!

It seems like everyone these days has their own blog, so I figured that this might work out somewhat better than the old SFA-News mailing list. We'll give this a try and see how it goes. Please feel free to leave a comment just to test this out and let me know that it's working.
