Ron's Genealogy  Start at Battles Family Chronicle. Photos from Gadsden, Alabama and Centre, Alabama. Email Archives, arranged by surname. Map of Garrett-Cardon Cemetery along with information and links to pictures. A document of the history of the Battles' migration from "England to Alabama" Some very large scanned documents might be of interest. Family GEDCOM from PAF in browse-able web pages is now available. I plan to make the GEDCOM downloadable soon. The trip to Alabama cemeteries back in 2000 provided much additional information for surnames Battles, Garrett, Cardon, Carden and McSpadden
