Hi All! I bought this book in the early part of the summer and have thoroughly enjoyed it! In my opinion, it is a must for Grainger County researchers. I leafed through it several times searching for own family names and am now going through it family by family and the wealth of info is astounding! It really gives you a feel for the people and their hardships and culture. Sorry to sound like a commercial. I don't have anything to do with the sale of the book, I'm just a grateful consumer! :^) Cheryl

Hello I was wondering is there any way for a person to find out if your ancesters are in this book before purchasing? sandy

Hi Grp, Does anyone with a marriage record book for Grainger County, have a marriage listed for: James W Smith married Lucinda between 1854-58 in Grainger County TN? Thank You, William State of OR

If some kind soul out there has access to the 1880 census for Grainger and/or Claiborne County, could you please check for a Joe Guinn -- could also be Joseph or Joseph Lindsay Guinn. He will probably be a 10-15 yr. old in a Guinn household. Any help would be most appreciated. Regards -- Judy
