Several of you have received this message, however for those who haven't you might want to look at this website, see if your county is mentioned and if so you might want to link back to them. The genealogical society went to great lengths to link to the various areas, states and counties, within this article. A link back would be nice. Bridgett ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: Kirk Stephens <kirks@wcu.campus.mci.net> Subject: Families from Jackson County, NC Greetings East Tennessee Folk; My name is Kirk Stephens. I am webmaster for the Jackson County (NC) Genealogical Society. I wanted to share a couple of items with you regarding some SURNAMES that we have in common. As you probably know, many families from Jackson county traveled to your TN counties in the early and mid-nineteenth century. The cemeteries of Jackson County are filled with names that are common in your counties. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that one of our local historians has written an article about the migration of Jackson county families. Your counties are mentioned and I have created links to your pages. Perhaps you will have time to view the article, and if you see fit, mention us on your LINKS page. I hope that maybe we'll be able to put some researchers together.
