Hi,
I;m trying trace my great uncle who emigrated from England in 1907 with his
wife and son, they were heading for Bessemer, Jefferson County, Alabama. If
anyone can look up the county records to see if he is listed I would be most
grateful.
Kind regards,
Lin in the UK

No Magee not my message, but have sent the poster one, just in case they're still searching.
