MISSISSIPPI Updated
The last Mississippi Obituaries was posted in 8/2011 with 360 pages. This update adds 90 pages, for 450 pages.
Many AAFA members have roots in Mississippi--if we don't have photos of your family members attached to their obituaries,
we'd love to have them!
NORTH CAROLINA STUFF
With the probability that AAFA will be meeting in North Carolina next October several members are going all out to place information about deceased North Carolina Alfords here on the web site.

DIRECTORIES
The NC directory linked below lists the name and address of all the Alfords in 1996 NC. It should be noted that this is a little more than half-way between our 1990 meeting in Raleigh and the 2001 meeting in Raleigh; and it occured almost a generation ago. It will interesting to see how this listing of over 700 compares with the Alford inventory or census that we are currently doing in support of a probable meeting in NC in 2013.
NEW YORK Updated
The last New York Obituaries was posted in 7/2010 with only 15 pages. This update has 10 times the number of pages at 150+!
It includes many older obituaries, and many Alvords.
The above link lists all of the meetings and the adds at this time pertain to the 2001 meeting in Raleigh, NC. You'll need to scroll down a bit to find it.

LOUISIANA K-Z Updated
It's been 2 years since we posted an update to Louisiana Obituaries, and we've nearly doubled the size to 600 pages.
The previous Louisiana Obituaries, posted 8/2010, was 380 pages. In fact, this updated file is so large that
it's been split alphabetically.

ANCESTOR PAGES SEE ALL
We have not done much here with these ancestor pages before, but Gil Alford has been working, offline, on his grandfather Jeptha Alfords page. Although there is still much to add we are now sharing here. Lynn Shelley had questions today that suggested we needed to open a page for Rev. Needham J. Alford, uncle of the above Jeptha. While it is here now there is practically nothing on his page. We do have a wealth of information about him and his descendants and will try to add something weekly. If you have an ancestor or know of an ancestor who should be represented here just let us know.
FLORIDA NEW!!
This 300+ page compilation includes all the Florida obituaries that AAFA currently has.
Only two states are not posted yet: Alabama and Tennessee. Both very large so unless you want to help, it will be a while!
WASHINGTON Updated
This 90 page compilation includes most of the Washington obituaries that AAFA currently has. Lots of ALVORDS here!
A number of old obituaries from Washington need to be typed so they can be added to this compilation.
Let us know if you want to volunteer to type them.
WEEK OF FEBRUARY 19
OUR HISTORY
From 2003 through 2008 some AAFA ACTION issues contained a segment on "Our History" by Gil Alford. They went back to his beginnings with "Alford" in 1982 and introduced those who joined with him in what would become his "About Alfords" newsletters and later become the AAFA. The last two segments published were never posted to this site, but they were just added.
TO SEEthe last segment which includes a summary listing his first 106 contacts of which most (56) later joined AAFA.
RESEARCH
Milt Folds, AAFA #0049, Hall of Fame, has been doing some special research as indicated by the two reports listed below. These will be included in future issues of AAFA ACTION.
