Alvin Black
Alvin Black was born and raised in Mount Ida, Arkansas, and has lived there almost his whole life. He attended college at the University of Arkansas at Monticello and graduated with a degree in Forest Management. He later was elected Montgomery County Treasurer, serving in that position for 14 years until he was elected County Judge, where he served another six years. He began his genealogy quest in the mid-80s, and his research has taken him from Kansas to West Virginia and most states in between.
