Melinda Have you tried the usgenweb state & county pages yet? Those maybe very helpful--I know the TN county genweb sites are great, they have helped me alot. Also, try to post some names with dates and loacations and you will probably get a ton of help. People on the lists have been more than generous when it comes to helping others. I don't have an ancestry.com account but I do have access to Heritagequest if you can give me some names, dates, & locations I can do some digging for you. Christine
