Dear Deborah:

You might want to contact Cousin Charles L. Bland ( Bland Family Historian and Leading Genealogist) and obtain a copy of the Bland Family Newsletter that he published in July 1999. In it he has devoted some 10 pages to the Genealogy of the Blanns/Blands of Dallas County Alabama. He has covered the family of William Henry Bland in considerable detail and your ancestor Gideon John Blann is included.
