Very many pages are seen as "ghost" images on the best microfilm available. This was caused by water damage during a fire in the 1920s. It is my intent to attempt to transcribe these pages first as many of these names are not contained in the local 1870 Alabama or Madison County Indexes. There are bound to be many errors. Please send an e-mail with the page and line numbers if you recognize a family or name I could not translate correctly. I will update the transcriptions of these difficult Beats at a later date.
