Not every Tennessean fought for the Confederacy. Over 200 Tennessean's died on the "Sultana", near Memphis, shortly after the war ended. They were mostly people/soldiers who survived Andersonville. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

I now have over 10,000 names listed of men who served in various Tennessee regiments. I have also completed a bibliography on all 283 units formed in Tennessee and have some details in place on some of the units. The latest additions include rosters of the 60th Infantry Regiment and the 1st (Colm's) Infantry Battalion. Drop by for a visit, and if you have a name you're looking for that's not in the index, drop me a note. I have an essentially complete index of Tennessee Civil War Soldiers - both Federal and Confederate - here and will do a lookup for you. I hope to have all of these rosters on line in the next month or so. John Rigdon The Civil War in Tennessee http://www.researchonline.net/tncw

Looking for any information regarding James PARKER who married Mary Catharine BURTON in January, 1852 in DeKalb Co., TN. They subsequently moved to Lawrence Co., MO where they had 4 children. James Parker died in 1857. Mary Catharine's parents names were Samuel Marion BURTON and Elizabeth DALE BURTON. Does anyone have any clues for me as to the parentage of James Parker, or anything about him? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jan Kansas [email protected]

I saw this online and thought it might be of help to someone. Pam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Database on Freed Slaves Released By JANELLE CARTER .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The Mormon Church published records Monday from the post-Civil War Freedman's Bank for newly freed slaves, making ancestral records available for as many as 12 million black Americans. The records have been available for years through the National Archives but not in organized form. The church, formally the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spent 11 years, with help from volunteer Utah state inmates, extracting and linking the 480,000 names contained in the records. The result is a searchable database on compact disk which includes information such as family names, birth locations and names of former slave owners. ``These records can provide clues for an estimated 8 to 10 million African American descendants living today who might want to research their family histories,'' said Elder L. Lionel Kendrick, a church official. The church began the project when an employee discovered the existence of the original microfilm records. At that time, no one had undertaken the long process of extracting the documents into one database. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, said, ``For too long, African-American history was embodied in untruth. We were not given an opportunity for truth.'' The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company was established through a congressional charter in 1865 - the same year the Civil War ended - to help former slaves with their new financial responsibilities. With 37 branch offices in 17 states, the bank had deposits totaling more than $57 million before it collapsed in 1874 because of mismanagement and fraud. What survived, however, were meticulous bank documents recording the names and family relationships of account holders. One application for a former slave lists the name of his former plantation, age, complexion, children, place of birth and occupation. It also lists the names of siblings who were sold away during slavery. ``The records created by the bank are a rich source of documentation,'' said Reginald Washington, an archivist with the National Archives and Records Administration. Still, the discovery of the documents poses prickly questions for the nation. When the bank closed, about 61,000 account holders were eligible to receive money. Less than 30,000 former slaves ever recovered their money and even then, most received just over half of what they were actually owed, Washington said. Jackson Lee said it was premature to say whether there would be legislation to compensate the former account holders. Instead, she said she hoped to first have a review of the bank's records and operations. Jewish descendants of the Holocaust have sued several European countries in recent years over decades-old bank accounts and other property confiscated by Adolf Hitler's Germany and European collaborators. The Freedman's Bank had branches in Huntsville and Mobile, Ala.; Little Rock, Ark.; Washington, D.C.; Tallahassee, Fla.; Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga.; Lexington and Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans and Shreveport, La.; Baltimore, Columbus, Natchez and Vicksburg, Miss.; St. Louis; New York; New Bern, Raleigh and Wilmington, N.C.; Philadelphia; Beaufort and Charleston, S.C.; Memphis and Nashville, Tenn.; Lynchburg, Norfolk and Richmond, Va. The Mormon church has maintained a massive genealogical database since 1894, originally to assist church members in tracing their family histories. The collection today is the largest of its kind. The church also plans to release a searchable database of the 1880 Census. The Freedman's Bank Records CD can be purchased for $6.50 over the Internet at http://www.familysearch.org, or by calling church distribution centers at 1-800-527-5971 and asking for item 50120.

I have created 15 different electronic spreadsheets to share and to help fellow researchers organize their census data from the U.S., Canada, England, Ireland and Scotland. All of my spreadsheets are free to anyone who wants a copy (or 15!). The U.S. Federal spreadsheet covers 1790-1920 with pages for the 1880-1920 Soundex. The other countries are covered as follows; Canada 1851-1901, England 1841-1891, Ireland 1821-1911 and Scotland 1841-1891. Each spreadsheet faithfully reproduces the format of the original returns, so they are great for printing blank forms as well as recording your data. Recording census data electronically is a great way to permanently organize, preserve, archive and share the census data we accumulate over the years. At http://www.censustools.com you can read about the spreadsheets and see screenshots of each. I also have a FAQ page, downloading/installation instructions, and my first monthly newsletter that I released just this weekend. And of course you can download a free copy of whichever spreadsheet(s) you need. Gary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

I have not found one of my Ancestors that fought for the Confederacy, but I feel that their history is just as important as the Union's. Please, let's don't let this happen.

Hi everyone, My ancestor was Dorcus HOLLOWAY b. ca 1798 in VA or TN died 1867 in Lawrence Co.. She married John MILLER ca 1819. He was born ca 1800, died 1858 Lawrence Co. I'm searching for her ancestors. I've found Moses, John, James, Stephen and Jesse HOLLOWAY in the census records. I've eliminated John, James, and Jesse on the basis of age as her father, and I can't find Stephen in any census other than the original Lawrence County one. I'm fairly sure John is her brother. Does anyone have any information on any of these Holloways? Thank you in advance. Jan Porterfield
