Hi Wendy and all, In some ways I am a pessimist by nature. As such I have mostly pleasant surprises and few disappointments. (Not for everyone, but it works for me.) Anyway, the 1840 Washington Co., TN microfilm has just arrived and I will start reviewing this week-end. My target is neighbors of Isaac Queen. The pessimist in me doesn't expect to find any startling revealations; but the optimist says LOOK carefully. Any special requests of anyone regarding data which may be on the film? Gene
