When David Huffines posted an extensive list of CD's and their pro's and con's recently, I saved it. Now my not-so-nimble fingers can't find it. Question: On CD's of Alabama census records 1800's, are children listed (I seem to recall it was only heads of households)? If that's the case, then it's not such a bright idea to look for a child in hopes of finding the parents' name. Right or wrong? Seems too easy/good to be true, I suppose. Second item---Matilda Luvenia (Gilbert) KENDRICK, widow of James Luther KENDRICK (d. 1879). Would someone be kind enough to see if she can be found *and WHERE* in the 1880 and 1890 Alabama census. Possibly living with relatives of husband. Could be ELISHA KENDRICK, McCalla, AL. That's just a 130 yr. old hint, which might have gone very cold. But her location, and the name of the family with whom she was living, would be most appreciated. I'm not at all familiar with these records on CD's. If it takes hours to find, I wouldn't expect anyone to go to so much trouble. I thought perhaps the system allows a name to be typed in, then hit "search". (I can hear some of you laughing now, if my lack of knowledge is confirmed by such a simple idea - I would, too). Thanks in advance for any clues you find. Roy Kendrick
