Mickey, Would you like some help with going through the records on a not very regular basis? My husband's family is from Rutledge (most still live there) and we are there on a pretty regular basis. In fact, we'll be there this weekend. Whenever I am there I would love to help if you'll tell me how. It has to be on the weekends because I have a kindergartner and a preschooler so we are in Chattanooga during the week. My husband's mom knows everyone at the Courthouse really well so I'm sure I can get a key, etc., to the old school. Let me know! Mary Carol Roach
