If they are like funeral homes here in California, after 10 years they purge their file and send only pertinent info to the state level. So I would have to get his dc from the State of Maryland. Oh, snap! I ...

Do you know if Alabama has such a list?

Although the transcription for the age for Sallie is said to be 19 in 1870, the actual image ...

I would also assume Rebecca's maiden name to be Barnett as that is the name given on the ...

Now, I only need guidance on where to go from here. I feel like I need to make some kind of assumption in order to forward my research before 1860, that either Cezar was a slave, and/or he migrated from another state.

The records point out genealogy rule #1 "Spelling Doesn't Count" when looking at the various spellings for the names of the family members on the various source records. The differing names for Rebecca, with their spellings could be nicknames for ...

I cannot seem to get further than my 4x great Grandfather, Cezar Potter and can't even be certain about him and his wife's identity. I listed 5 resources below from A-E that support him and his wife(s) identity but I'm not convinced ...

Congrats! Have you considered contacting the funeral home? I have done that in the past and they were able to supply me with information including a copy of a death certificate.
