McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] France issues certificate for US WWII vets One of my husband's proudest moments on our grand tour of Europe a few years ago was walking through the Arch de Triomphe 50 years after his father had made the same march following the liberation of France. Recently, the French government began honoring those American soldiers who participated in the liberation through a certificate program. Imagine what a wonderful gift you can give to US WWII veterans of the French salients in your family. Please note this important caveat: "The decision to honor World War II combattants applies only to living veterans who served on French territory and in French territorial waters and airspace in 1944-1945. The certificate will not be awarded posthumously."

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] A tiny bit of typing needed... We're almost ready to unveil the Knox County World War I history and database. But.... We have about 2000 names that need to be typed so they can be incorporated into the database. You can either use a spreadsheet program or a word processor. You don't have to type fast -- just be neurotic about accuracy. After all, we want people to be able to find grampaw in the database, right? Depending on how fast you type, it will take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours to complete the whole list. Of course, we'd love to have multiple volunteers split it up. So -- if you're up for it, please contact me. I'll send you the pages and instructions. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 14:50:24 -0500 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Yet another query forum Appalachian Life Magazine has recognized the popularity of genealogy... http://appalachianlife.com/forum/ It's not limited to Tennessee, but the magazine is published in Greeneville... There's a Walker query there <g>. I don't have a financial interest in the magazine -- just passing along a resource. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 23:35:25 -0500 From: The Browns <maxjerry@clark.net> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] unsubscribe unsubscribe ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 00:23:41 -0500 From: "Billie R.
