This book is great for the true researcher.
It gives the years in which each County conatins what records which will save a lot of phone calls & trips.
It refers to other wonderful books that one can get to trace something inparticular. It also refers to finding Alabama research in other States which I found most helpful.

This is an excellent resource for anybody intending to do genealogical research for Alabama roots. Complete guide to finding resources.

Awesome book with tons of information.
This book lists numerous books, areas of research, where and how to search Alabama records.
This book will save you alot of leg work. Tells how and where to look for Alabama info. A must have if you are a serious Alabama reasearcher.

I am highly disappointed that Mr. Davis who has written many books of value to researchers has
published a book consisting of boilerplate pages and lacking the important information which the title of
the book leads us to believe will assist researchers in Alabama records. Each county section was
a fill-in-the blank format. Very disappointed in Mr. Davis and he should know better than to
foist off such a product on the public. My copy is gathering dust. A waste of paper and trees.

The writer of this book is the history and genealogy professor at Wallace State College in Hanceville, AL. I have met him and enjoyed talking with him. His knowledge of researching Alabama and Georgia is an asset to Wallace State College. I have also heard one lecture of his and it was wonderful.
