Hello Deborah, We are certainly happy to be in the area when one of the ROOTWALKER family digs hard enough to discover that bit of information that helps all their years of work come together, and we are all proud of you for being tenacious enough to hold on until that happened. If your ancestors are looking down at you from up high right now, I'm sure they are smiling! Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 5/6/01 7:59:47 PM Pacific Daylight Time, debjorg@juno.com writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] Re: Overton County Court Records > Date: 5/6/01 7:59:47 PM Pacific Daylight Time > From: debjorg@juno.com (Deborah L Jorgensen) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Thank you very much for copying these Overton County Court Records.
