Gabbie, I do not know how long Pam has been at the library, I only know she is doing all in her power to build up resources for genealogists and has worked extensively with Jim and me, furnishing material for the Stewart website. If you go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/library.htm and follow the links you can see that she has provided listings of all library holdings of interest to genealogists. They are currently hard at work on getting the money to build a new genealogy room. As for the Historical Society, they were present at the DC reunion and very supportive. They are also working hard presently gathering material for new publications. I have found nothing but positives from both that group and the library in Stewart Co. You may contact either of the two using links from the Stewart website and maybe they can answer your questions more completely. I am sure they would appreciate any help you are willing to give them. jan Listowner: Tnstewar-L@rootsweb.com Tnstewar-D@rootsweb.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Raymon Lindsey <gabbie@aeneas.net> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 1999 7:24 PM Subject: Re: Stewart Co.
