Could anyone tell me if there are any libraries in any state, where I might find a large collection of family tree maker cd's, so that I do not have to buy so many. Thank you for any help and information on this subject.

Juanita, I just returned from SLC Library. They have virtually all the FTM discs and lots of computers on which to explore them. Launa BIRD/BYRD WILSON LAWSON FULTON BAIRD ATKINSON HAMILTON WRAY

Dear Tennessean - Your Internet site is great and one could only hope for two more items. One is the obit section and the other is an email address of your research/archives department. The Tennessean has been a part of Nashville/Tennessee history for many, many years and could be a wonderful and helpful source to genealogists and historians by offering these additional services on your Internet site. Sincerely, Jeanne Johnson

Researching surname GOODRICH and LEMONS. Specifically looking for ancestors and descendants of the following: Frank J. GOODRICH, born March 1866 TN, died after 1910, married early 1890s prob in Cheatham Co to Josephine LEMONS, born August 1875, died 1900-1903. Alfie Goodrich Little VA Beach, VA

I am looking for a land entry dated 24 November 1783 for JOHN RICE. This was the date given as "entered" on North Carolina land grants to John Rice in Smith County, TN dated January and February 1802. These grants are possibly for Revolutionary War service, as warrant numbers are given as follows: 1258, 520, and 2073. I need help identifying which John Rice this was. The John Rice killed by Indians on the Red River in 1792 has been ruled out, since this John who has the land grants on "middle fork of Roaring River" and "Bear Creek" appears in Jackson County, TN taxlists in 1804, as does a Robert Rice. He is therefore NOT the John Rice, brother of William Higgeson Rice, Elisha Rice, Joel Rice, Nathan Rice who were buying up huge tracts of land in the 1780's and 1790's. This may also be the same John Rice who is listed as having had land on Sander's Fork (present-day Cannon County, TN) who died before 26 September 1806. Again,this cannot be John of 1792, as this Smith County John Rice was paying taxes on this Sanders Fork property circa 1803-1805. A Jacob Rice, Martin Rice, and Thomas Rice seem to be connected in some way. Jacob sold Sanders Fork property to Joel Cross in 1818. Martin and Thomas appear in Cannon County in 1840 census. Jacob probably a son of John Rice. Hope some of you can help me document this John Rice and find a transcript of his 1783 land entry! Thanks! Will Smith wolfslair98@ficom.net

Hi all, I'm trying to find information about my great-grandfather Lee Reese who was said to be born in Tennessee. On an application for marriage license, he listed his father's name as Frank REESE and his mother as Camelia (she was born in Germany). Lee was born around 1893 and leter moved to Pittsburgh PA, where he married Helen ELizabeth Gordon in May, 1916. Around 1918, Lee left the house to go to the grocer and he was never seen or heard from again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No question about it.....the building now housing The Ben West Library is the appropriate one. As it is "setup" as a library, would be less costly to renovate. The location is a familiar one to library patrons. And, last but not least, the Friends of the Metro Archives favor the Ben West Library Building.
