ALABAMA, [COUNTY]- VOTING REGISTERS | ALABAMA, [COUNTY]- VOTING REGISTERS | ||
The Alabama Department of Archives & History created an [http://www.archives.alabama.gov/voterreg/index.cfm 1867 Voter Registration Database] on-line. Currently all entries for Wilcox, Winston, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Tallapoosa, Talladega, Sumter, St. Clair, Shelby, Russell and Pike Counties are available. | |||
The books for the following counties were severely damaged from mold: Dallas; Franklin; Lauderdale; Limestone; Lowndes; Monroe; Randolph; and Washington. Some information may be missing due to the extent of the mold damage. | |||
The volumes are significant genealogical records as this is one of the first statewide government documents that record African-American males living in Alabama. Because no index existed for individual volumes or for the records as a whole, and because of the deteriorating condition of the records, in 2004 ADAH staff began scanning the documents and keying the data from each entry into a computer database. When a successful search retrieves a name from the database, an image of the page where the entry resides will also be available for your use.<br> | |||
