This past week-end, I attend a Genealogy Workshop sponsored by my DAR chapter. The speaker mentioned something I had never thought of before. She said there were areas that were flooded and made into lakes by TVA. These areas contained many cemeteries and people were contacted to ask what they wanted done with their loved one's remains. They were given the choice to move the remains or just leave them and let them be underwater. She said records were kept of the people contacted and choices made. Now, I did not hear where she said the records were, but I believe they would be with the TVA or the state. Has anyone else heard of this and do you know where these records might be? Anne FL

I'm not sure, but if records were kept, I would think TVA headquarters in Tennessee should be able to help you. Corporate headquarters are in Knoxville: Tennessee Valley Authority 400 W. Summit Hill Dr. Knoxville, TN 37902-1499 Phone: 865-632-2101 The website (http://www.tva.gov/), says "Send your questions or comments to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>."
