Thank you one and all! Due to the things I found on the
Internet, I FOUND my brothers. They knew nothing about
myself and two sisters until I called them and said "Guess
what?" They were young and left in the care of their dad. My
two younger sisters and I were also left with other people.
I had looked for years and never seemed to come close. In
Jan 2000, my husband and I bought our computer and in 30
days I had them on the phone. We are hoping now to be able
to meet for the first time and also my one sister that I've
never met. This is a mess as I am heading out the door to go
to work. Just wanted to thank someone for their hard work.
Too many times people will pick bad things to say, I like
telling people the good they do. Thank you for letting me
take up your time

Exactly when was McMinn County, Tennessee formed? My
ancestors at one time lived in Indian lands until McMinn
County was formed.
In the court house in Athens, I copied some papers on
one of my ancestors. His will, the division of all the land,
the inventory of the land or farm, and the probation of the
will. These papers are recorded in the year 1822. Doesn't
that mean the death occurred in 1822? Some people say the
died several years before that, but if his will was probated
in 1822 would he have not died in that year or possibly the
year before?

Gary,
I have just been reading our Weekly Fireside in the
Genealogy Forum News as I do every month and I thought it
was about time to tell you what an awesome job you do of
editing it each month!! We are all proud of our newsletter
and having a monthly consolidated issue of it on the
website, gives "the world" a chance to see what we're all
about.
I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I thank you
for your editing job. It can't be easy
Thanks again,
GFS Jayne
Your site was recommended in a DearMytle's email and while
it looks very interesting and I like the St. Patrick's Day
theme, the green on green is VERY hard to read. No, it is
impossible to read.
