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

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!

The Sevier County 1870 Census name index is available for viewing at

http://www.tnhillbillie.net/tn/sevier/1870/index.html

This is from a transcription prepared by James Breeden. As soon as his

full transcription is converted to a searchable database, it will be

available on-line.

Other research helps for Sevier County have been updated on the listing at

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Re: OK to link to yours?

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.

I enjoy 'Sunday Afternoon Rocking' so much. I thought this might touch each=20

of you as if touched me. =20

In each family there is one who seems called to find the

ancestors. =A0 To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell

the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve.

To me doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, =A0 but instead

breathing life into all who have gone before. =A0 We are the story tellers o=

genes. =A0 Those who have

gone before cry out to us. =A0 Tell our story. =A0 So, we do. In finding the=
