Does anyone from Jefferson county have any advice on how to track down a birth that occured before 1908?
My great grand father, John Walter Lawlor, has "Pratt City, Alabama" listed on several documents as his place of birth in April of 1874.
I can't find any census information showing him being in Alabama at all, in fact, the first census hit comes in 1900 when he was in the military in the Philippines.
His father's name was also John, probably John W, and I can't find anything on him being in Alabama either but he was most likely a soldier in the Confederate Army in Mississippi 1861-1863.
Are there specific churches in or around "Pratt City" that would have existed in 1874 that might have records?
Thank in advance for any replies.
