Thank you to everyone for the great info. I have another question. I have two ancestors that died in institutions, one in TN and one in AL. Archives in AL found and sent me the copy of the court commitment from 1896 on my great grandfather which was great because it gave me dates in a county where all the records burned. I don't fully understand the significance of this document I have though and was hoping if there is anyone on this list that is willing to explain it, I have it scanned (1 page). I have a working knowledge of commitment proceedings as I've worked some hours in behavioral healh but the terminology used in 1896 is very different. I'm fairly new to genealogy and new to this list so I'm not sure if attachments are allowed or if the committment process back at the turn of the century has relevance to anyone besides me. Thanks again, Dianne ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to TNDAVIDS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
