I do not know what happened to Frank, Martha, or Nancie. Any info on this family would be appreciated as I have hit many brick walls with them. Thanks in advance. Robbie

I first got acquainted with him while he lived in Virginia and I have been acquainted with him ever since I moved to this county which is upwards of twenty years, and from the old men in the neighborhood it is and always was believed that he was a Revolutionary Soldier and I believe him to be about 84 years old, and he has always supported the character of an honest man.

Dear Listers, I am so sorry. After I saw all the e-mails about my post I went back and re-read it. I now see why it was confusing. The surnames I mentioned were not for the marriage records. They were in the queries section. Again I'm sorry for confusing anybody. To get to the Williamson County Genweb page click on: http://three-legged-willie.org/ You can scroll down to the link for the Williamson County Genealogical Society or you can click on: http://www.flash.net/~hmwalden/wcgs.htm You will find the books that are for sale there and the address. I hope I have cleared up this mess I made. Sometimes I goof too. LOL Carole Tyler in CA

Hi Ginny, I have no idea why they published it. Maybe whoever put it together lives there. I just went to the Williamson Co Genweb site and got the info to order the book. I scanned the surnames and noticed there are several that I have seen in Giles. Maynot be from Giles tho. Most of my Tylers moved to TX from Giles, the same area too. Anyway thanks for the info. I would never have found this book if not for you.

Hi, This message will be going to several lists so I am sorry if you get more than one. I have my husband's family traced back to when they came to the states so now I am interested in getting documents to prove my findings. How difficult is is working with the state, counties and the town clerks in getting BMD records. I am working within the time frame of about 1822 to about 1880. I have done this sort of work before with my family and one state has been a nightmare. I always give the example that with my particular state, it is far easier to pull teeth from a hungry shark than it is to get any form of document from these people. Thank you for your time and response. Sue macduff@citrus.infi.net

Does someone have a copy of the above book? It was put out by the Williamson County Genealogical Society in TX. Also does anyone know why a Texas genealogical society would be publishing a marriage record book of Giles Co., TN? I don't see the connection but I'm a long way away. Ginny

I will start with the transcription of the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Giles County today. I am not an especially fast typist, so it will take a couple of days. Thanks to you who responded and showed an interest in this informtion. Bobby G. Carwile I am sending this in 8 point type so I can see if it will go through to TNGILES-L. There are a lot of notes with the names in this list and I want to take up as little space as possible on the forum. Bobby G. Carwile
