Thanks, Gail. I appreciate what you are doing to help us all! I had trouble with the internet from Thursday evening until about 3 pm today. I mentioned it to a nephew, and he told me that he had heard that some ISPs were updating, converting, and whatever else it is they have to do, over the July 4th weekend because they thought fewer people would be using the 'net at this time. Right now, SWBell is doing me a good job. I hope yours gets straightened out, for it surely can be annoying. Have a great week. Betty B.

Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 19:34:17 -0500 Dear Betty, I am sending some transcriptions of Union discharge papers to the list that I found in the land records for Grainger County (1866-1869). (Why they recorded amonst the land records I haven't a clue. <smile> ) These are from a microfilm, not the original books. At least I am trying to. I don't seem to be getting them off so it may be awhile before you or the other Grainger county researchers see this message either. <grin> We seem to be having trouble with our ISP connection this afternoon. Anyway I think it is at the ISP rather than softhome. I seem to have more luck getting online than my husband although we are networked and his is the "boss computer" <grin>. However, that's not much help since I can connect, but can't really go anywhere online or send messages. I have been able to receive messages every now, but have had no luck getting these transcriptions off so I will try again later this evening.
