Above is a screen shot of some of my results from searching today. Searching for Hugh Jones in Alabama, I found a family history book that gives a complete genealogy of my second great grandmother Gennetta Woolley. This included detailed information about her family along with a history of the settlement of Bibb and Chilton counties of Alabama. I can use this information to fine tune the date that Hugh's father moved from Georgia to Alabama.
Quite a find!!!!
Happy ancestor hunting.

FAMILYSEARCH RECORDS ADDED OR UPDATED APRIL 12-13, 2013
Quite a few records have been added and updated on FamilySearch the last two days. Look through the list and see if there are any in the locations that you are searching. I hit the jackpot last night looking at the updated Alabama Estate Files. They had added probate records for Jesse Attaway - one of my long standing brick walls. There were 47 images of records with great genealogical research information. The records listed all of his children's names, their spouses and their ages and where the were living during the period of the probate record. There was a three page document giving detailed family information. Found out that Barenstine Attaway,s (son of Jesse, my great grandfather) nickname was "governor." If I had not run across this information it would not have come to light and probably have been lost forever. Keep a check on FamilySearch's updates - they are doing a tremendous job.
