I have been researching my family tree since the early 1980's. My genealogical research is concentrated primarily on the descendants of James Maynard Massey & Mary Nations Massey, Thomas Lee Bailey & Elizabeth Lindsay Bailey, David Lindsay & Mary Casey, Rev. Robert Bailey & Mary "Pollie" Acton, Benjamin Johnson & Lucretia Thomas Johnson, Absalom Martin & Clara McCary Martin, Westly Collum and Elizabeth Cook Collum, Richard James Scoggins (of Blount & Lawrence Counties AL) and too many more to mention.

I also research destroyed/relocated cemeteries of Jefferson and Shelby Counties, AL.

I am a former president and current member of the Birmingham Genealogical Society, former president and current member of the Family and Friends of Union Hill Cemetery, current director of Patton's Chapel Cemetery, former president and charter member of the Cahaba-Coosa Chapter, ALSSAR, charter member of the Gardendale Historical Society, charter member of the Chelsea Historical Society, member of the Shelby County Historical Society, second vice-president of the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance and the Chilton County Representative & Shelby County Representative for the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance.

If you use my pictures, either of tombstones or my relatives, please state "Picture courtesy of Scott A. Martin."

Thanks!
