Hello List! I was hoping that someone could do a look up for me. I am trying to find Minverva Mullins. She would be the head of the household age 38 or 39.

The East Tennessee Historical Society is unveiling a new family heritage program, Civil War Families of Tennessee. Civil War Families of Tennessee (CWFT) seeks to identify and honor the sacrifices of the valiant soldiers on both sides of the conflict. This lineage program will link current descendants with their Civil War ancestors, encourage new research, and combine the experiences of thousands of individuals and families to tell more fully the story of the Civil War in Tennessee. If you are a direct or collateral descendant of any individual who served in Tennessee during the Civil War-Union or Confederate-you are eligible for membership in CWFT. Service may have been in either a Tennessee unit or any non-Tennessee unit which was active in the state. Membership is also open through an ancestor who served elsewhere but lived in Tennessee either before, during, or after the war. In order to recognize the service of the many young men who died unwed and without children, CWFT offers membership through collateral descent also. Like its sister program, First Families of Tennessee, CWFT applications and membership files will be housed in the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (Knoxville, Tennessee) of the Knox County Public Library System where together the two projects will provide an unparalleled resource for family and historical research in the Volunteer State. CWFT members will receive a handsome certificate with the names of the applicant and the ancestor, along with the name of the ancestor's company and regiment. A roster of the members and their ancestors will eventually be published in book form. CWFT members will also be recognized at a grand reunion to be hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society. For additional information about the Civil War Families of Tennessee project, including a downloadable application form, please visit the ETHS web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org. Anyone unable to download a form may request an application form by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Civil War Families of Tennessee c/o ETHS PO Box 1629 Knoxville, TN 37901-1629 Additional questions about the new CWFT project may also be addressed to civilwar@east-tennessee-history.org (Please note that ETHS does not provide email-based research assistance at this time.) The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of East Tennessee. The society's programs and activities are made possible through the support of its membership. The society's First Families of Tennessee family heritage program was founded in 1992 and now includes more than 13,000 members in 50 states and eight foreign nations.

Kids Can Send Grandma To Camp This Summer This year, summer camp comes with a twist. Kids are invited to bring along an adult family member to participate in the East Tennessee Historical Society's summer genealogy camp. The camp will be held July 9-12 at the ETHS headquarters in the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville. The camp is designed for children age 9 to 13. Cost is $25 per child and $5 for each adult family member. At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree, such as talking to relatives, using original records, visiting cemeteries and libraries, and meeting historical reenactors. Each participant (or sibling group) is invited to bring a family member with them to help as they "dig their roots." The week will include tours of the East Tennessee Historical Society and Museum, and participants will receive one-on-one instruction in using the Knox County Archives and the McClung Historical Collection. "We hope that parents or grandparents will help us develop an interest in preserving their family and community history," said Lisa Oakley, ETHS curator of education. "This camp will plant the seeds of interest in history in today's children." The camp is sponsored in part by Knoxville area Chick-Fil-A restaurants. The ETHS genealogy camp will be held at the East Tennessee History Center, 600 Market Street, Knoxville, from 9 a.m. to noon, July 9-12. Space is limited in the camp and pre-registration is required. To register, contact Lisa Oakley at oakley@east-tennessee-history.org or 865-215-8828.

I am trying to learn more about my great grandfather, William Butler BISHOP, and am hoping someone on this list will be able to help. All that we know about him is that he was born in Hancock County, Tennessee in 1849, and moved to Rice County, Kansas in the 1870s, where he lived until his death in 1899. We also know that he was a teacher before he moved to Kansas and started farming. Does anyone know of any BISHOPs from that period of time that he might belong to? Is there anyone with access to census records for 1850, 1860, or 1870 who could look for him and/or his family? I'm open to any suggestions on how I might learn more about him! Thanks! Best regards, Janet Zengel Messer Micanopy, Florida

To the List: If you have Tennessee roots you will be interested in a new publication titled "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee." To be published in June, this 600-page volume will include more than 30,000 records of citizens of Tennessee in 1810. Since nearly all of the original census was destroyed many years ago, this reconstructed census will be an invaluable research tool. The work is based on names extracted from tax lists, court minutes, church records, wills, deeds and other sources dated 1809-1811 in Tennessee. The author made this extensive effort to track every adult male in Tennessee. In addition many entries for women, children, free blacks and slaves were also located. The book was complied by Charles A. Sherrill, a well-known Tennessee genealogist, librarian and lecturer. His earlier works include "Tennesseans in Court" and "Tennessee Convicts." For a sample page of text and ordering information, contact the author at this e-mail address: books4histry@cs.com
