I have taken the liberty of adding information in () parenthesis of which I have personal knowledge from my genealogy research, {} brackets is information from Mobile Probate Court Marriage Records, [] square brackets is information from the Mobile Register Obituary Column, or ({}) parenthesis brackets is information from other sources. Those individuals entered with (*#1) behind the name do not have a headstone. That individual's information was taken from funeral home records or sent to me via e-mail from family members. Any information in this listing that is not on the tombstone will always be found with a designating mark.
