Ports again brings his expertise to bear in this concise overview of the history of Alabama and the places and resources to consult when searching for your Alabama ancestors.
Ports begins by focusing on Alabama's settlement background, beginning in 1702 when the French established the first settlement in what would become Alabama. He then goes on to highlight the primary and secondary record sources-including vital, probate, military, land, and census records-the major repositories, and the most helpful online resources. Along the way he intersperses research tips and references to key publications, online databases, and websites throughout the text.
