The East Tennessee Historical Society invites members and guests to attend one of four Civil War genealogy workshops in February conducted by noted lecturer and author Dr. George K. Schweitzer. Two workshops will be hosted in upper East Tennessee in Greene and Washington counties. Workshop participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War, how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans, and how to prove descent. Research will focus on Tennessee, but much of the information will apply to other states, as well. The workshop is being held in conjunction with the East Tennessee Historical Society's new heritage program, Civil War Families of Tennessee. Workshops are free and open to the public. A schedule of the upper East Tennessee workshops is as follows: February 23, 2002 - Johnson City, TN - 10 a.m. to Noon Johnson City Public Library, 100 W.
