Hi Folks, I've got a couple of announcements to make concerning the Genealogy section of the Library in Claiborne County. First off, Thanks to Joyce Watson (the new County Historian) and Mayor Virgil Herrell the Library has on Permanent loan from Walters State a brand new Microfilm reader. Somehow the lens had walked off (before we got it) but the Mayor is ordering a replacement. That should make life much easier for any of you trying to read through the rolls of Microfilm. And a giant step forward for the Library since I was told I'd have to raise approximately $7,000 to buy a new one. What a relief! Now we can concentrate our efforts on building up the Genealogy Collection available at the Library. Which leads me to the next announcement. Due to very generous donations made to the "Friends of the Genealogy Library" Fund, I just ordered the 3 Volume set of the Millennium Addition (DAR) Patriot Index for the Library. After speaking with (SAR) experts and (DAR) experts they recommended the DAR Patriot Index as the more comprehensive of the two. More excellent publications will be coming to the Library as we evaluate what's missing and fill in the blanks. If you know of any books or CD's you'd highly recommend that have been invaluable to you in your research please contact me and we'll take them into consideration. Any and all help appreciated. Warmest Regards, Pam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Researching the following surnames: BREEDING, CRUTCHFIELD, CUPP, ELLISON, ENGLAND, FAULKNER/FORTNER/FORKNER, FIELDS, GOIN, GREER, HUBBS, HURST, JOHNSON, KECK, KILLION, OUSLEY/OWSLEY, ROARK, RUSSELL, SNAVELY, WAGGONER, WYRICK, and other assorted and connected families.
