McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Brown/Wood researchers From Robert McGinnis -- rmcgi81640@aol.com Anyone interested in the Brown/Wood connection let me hear from you. I just found a bible record with both of those names together from the late 1700's in Knox County Robert McGinnis ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 13:24:24 -0500 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] New IGI updates From a list, apparently originally from Eastman's On-line Newsletter: - - International Genealogical Index Expanded I received word this week from Salt Lake City that the Family History Department is now uploading 125 million more names to the International Genealogical Index. The updated version should be available by the time you read this at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp The new names will also be available soon on the CD-ROM version of the International Genealogical Index, which is available for free use at your nearest LDS Family History Center. Personal note -- I prefer the FHC version, because you aren't as limited in your searching and downloading. And the speed is much better! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 03:04:33 -0500 From: "Billie R.

Ken Dunlap has added some really interesting information to his personal Web page at http://www.angelfire.com/mi/kend/index.html It's definitely worth a bookmark or link for those who have pre-statehood Tennessee, Knox County, SAR, or numismatic interests. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 21:25:59 EST From: AhhaTex@aol.com Subject: [KnoxCoTN] why we do what we do... - --part1_87.6f3f7a8.27bde9b7_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I enjoy 'Sunday Afternoon Rocking' so much.
