Helen, You are absolutely right about the reply all button. One of these days I'll learn how to operate this machine! Of course, a very poor memory doesn't help! Thanks for reminding me of that key! Sorry to waste everyone's time being dense. Nancy J.

Hi List, I will put my two cents worth in. I was really surprised that the list was so slow. Maybe everyone is like me and just reads the list. I checked out the newspaper site that was listed and just had to respond to the lady. seemed like she was getting discouraged. I didn't know about and it is really a great site. My husband has relatives here in this area but mine are all in Texas. I sure would like some help on my Ruby line in Al, TN and MS. I know the library is always busy but I bet a lot of it is people from out of town. I know of some that are. We in North, MS, don't have one near except in Memphis. Maybe we can get this list moving if we all get involved. Wanda in Hernando PS I also didn't know what the reply to all button was!

Helen, I think one of the problems with this list is that the replies don't go automatically back to the list for everyone to see. Could the listowner set it up so all the replies go to the list? Nancy

One of the best maillists is the one for Sumner County. They are constantly updating. They have just transcribed a number of loose records of court cases which have numerous names in them. They have excerpts from books about Sumner County, and many, many other files. Check it out. Maybe we could get some volunteers going on transcribing the same kinds of info. for Shelby. Ann in NM

Su, I'll help. The book was called "Arlington" and Rachel was married twice, first to Billy Jo Kennon and then to Walter Burrow. I think she was a Burrow when she wrote the book. Also I have heard that she died. Hope you are well.

Researching; Stano, Hornbuckle, Hansborough, Rice, Kidd, Gentry, Craig, and Herring. Anita

I'm sure glad there is finally some activity on this list. I have a couple of "Brick Walls" in Shelby Co. Researching; BROOKS, PERRY, DUKES REDD, SURBER, ROBINSON, MUISE, WILLIE, REDD, ROBISON, BOBBITT and TROTTER. Also; WILLINGHAM, WARNER, RICE, HERRERA, AND BROWN. Thanks for any assistance, Anita

Would like to hear from any desc`s. of Eliza BELL who md. a BROWN (possibly Wm. BROWN, an attorney, in Somerville, Tenn. Her father was Andrew BELL a Rev. Soldier who died in Rawleigh, Tenn 1836. Thanks, Sue in Al.

Queries? I`m like Al Jolson "I got a million of `em" I`ve been at this for 35 yrs. and the more I do the more the more leads I have to ck out. My grt uncle James LOVE was md for a time to the beautifus Lillian CRITZ but later divorced(I don`t have the record) He is said to have killied a man in Memphis but was acquitted; he died and buried I think in Memphis if anyone sees anything on this case please let me know. TIA Sue in Al.

Looking for John Long and Jesse Gray who are listed in the 1860 Shelby Co., Tennessee census Tammy wjones@texhoma.net

Thanks so much for all the work people contribute to The List;maybe someday I`ll run across the death notice of my grt aunt who is buried in Memphis. someone said in Glenwood? big city cemetery? but I`m not sure. She had one dau. Lula CUMMINS who sang on stage in N. Y. early 1900`s. Any info. appreciated. Sue in Al.

Susan - My gggrandmother is buried in Arlington, but I don't know where. I've tramped through one of the cemeteries there, but the headstone inscriptions were mostly worn off. Are the 3 books you were referring to the shelby co. cemeteries books? The Mphs/SHco library didn't have her name - Margaret A.C.E. Branch, except in a newpaper obit. I'd really like to find out her maiden name. Where is the Arlington library located? Does it have a genealogy section? Nancy Jones - Memphis

Looking for any information on a Carl URQHART, age 18 in 1911. I believe he may have been born in Georgia. Family was supposedly in the laundry business. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stuart

have been researching the Benjamin J LOVE and Andrew BELL and WALKER lines that resided in Shelby and Fayette Cos. Would "love" to know more about the Reddings who were physicians and one a wholesale gro. merchant in Memphis; the Reddings were, I believe, the half bro`s of my Benj. Joseph LOVE (Benoni) who raised a large family in Somerville and Laconia Tenn in 1800`s Any connections appreciated. TIA Sue in Al
