Dorann, My trip was awesome! I had never been to the Local History Annex and I got to spend about 3 ½ hours there on the Monday I was there (unfortunately, they were doing some tech upgrades and were closed on that Saturday). I also met with Debbie Lee Gilmore (who I met through GenForum), one of the "cousins" on my Lee side - she has a BUNCH of information, but then I had some that she didn't have, too! We had a good time sharing. I also had a lot of photos, both identified and unidentified, and she contacted an older lady (who, as it turns out, is more related to ME than to Debbie! - we are "double cousins" - two Williams sisters married two Lee brothers - and I am the gggrandaughter of one set and she is the granddaughter of the other set! That was so cool!) and that lady could pput names on several of the unidentified photos I had - on both sides! I spent about 6 hours at Debbie's on Sunday night, then she met me at the Annex on Monday and took me to the courthouse (which is also awesome - they just give you the run of the place!). I'm not sure I got a whole lot to share (I can't remember where you fit into the lines... sorry), but we did narrow Jesse & Catherine Lee down to "probably" Jackson Co. TN on his way to Muhlenberg from NC. We also found some courthouse stuff from Wm. G. Lee (will and another paper). Debbie filled in some stuff from her direct line (she is from one of Frank's brothers), but I don't have it with me. So, all in all, it was a very, very rewarding visit - not to mention I saw my grandmother more than I've seen her for quite a while (since she got more unable to communicate as well as she used to). I am hoping to get back at least one more time, hopefully two, this summer before Chris goes back to school. I have a trip to Evansville planned for July 20 (day trip) to work on my mom's side of the family - she and Chris are going to go with me. Chris is now interested in genealogy a bit (he's only 14, so I consider that a coup!) and is working on his dad's side of the family while both of his grandparents are still living (his grandpa on that side will be 80 in a couple of weeks - but they are both in good health and mind). Since his dad and I are divorced, I am trying not to be nosy, but I am helping him with the "what questions to ask next" type things. I'm sure his will end up being more organized than mine, since I know the pitfalls and mistakes *I* have made! :) Hope you are doing well - it is EXTREMELY hot here this week and pretty miserable for this time of year... supposed to cool off tomorrow. Sorry I rambled so much! Write when you can and keep in touch! Mary K. >>> [email protected] 06/15/01 10:58AM >>> Hi, Mary, How did your trip to Muhlenberg County "go"? I actually remembered you were going! It's been ages since I was there and I live about an hour away! Did you learn anything you can share?
