Tony thank you for letting us know this far ahead, as some of us really need to make plans way ahead, especially if you have to fly or save our pennies up for gas, if we drive. :-) Please remind all of us again closer to the date too. thanks Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: Anderson, Robert A.

I'd be happy to see it under $3/gal, but we can always hope! Thanks for the info on the reunion Tony. Has anyone ever used the picnic facilities at Grundy Forest (Gizzard Cove area near Tracy Elementary)? We're hunting a spot for a mini-reunion in June. Tony, the pavilion at the Visitor's Center (Summerfield area) was already booked up on the day we need it. Thanks for all the good info you gave me though.

First a disclaimer. I am not promoting any paid service. I just want researchers to know what's available. In this case it's ancestry.com which many local libraries have access to and is free for you to use at the library. Ancestry.com has added a database called Tennessee State Marriages 1765-2002. As far as I can tell there are no Marion county marriages included in this database before 1880. There are 1,656 marriages listed for Marion in the 1880's and then no more until 1919. Fortunately Euline's books cover this "blank" period. For the 1880's marriage records, the index will take you to an actual image of the marriage book(s). Now the wow! part. Beginning about 1919 and through 2002 , it appears that any marriage that was recorded in Marion is in the database. The index will take you to an image of the marriage bond, marriage certificate or marriage certificate application with the return stub which the minister signs depending on which year you are searching in. These applications sometimes include one or more parents signatures. For example, I found my daughter's marriage application in 1993 including the minister's signature. Same for my sister who was married in 1967 and same for my parents who were married in 1941(this one also included the marriage bond). Also found the marriage bond and marriage certificate for my grandparents who were married in 1904 in White county. I did look up some old girl friends to see who they married but I have not fully explored this resource yet. Some points to remember: The dates I have given above for data availability apply only to Marion county - some counties have more of the older info. The data from the 4 largest counties is not included - same as is the case for most TN vital records online. There are numerious transcription errors in the index but I have not found that to be a problem in locating a marriage and then you can look at the actual record to see for yourself what it says. Bill Mc

I will try to come w/my grandmother Josephine Coffelt who is the daughter of John Cleveland and Lydia Anderson Cleveland from Orme. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anderson, Robert A." <andersonra@ornl.gov> To: <tnmarion@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 1:01 PM Subject: [TNMARION] 2008 Gizzard Reunion > The date for the next Gizzard Reunion is Saturday, September 27th 2008 > at the Foster Falls Campground Pavilion.
