    1. Re N.C. Land Grants to Tennessee, etc.

    3. I am getting a lot of requests for look-ups and still ongoing...and will continue to look for you. This morning I made a phone call to the Nashville Archives to get some information that I know soon someone will be inquiring about. Can one still order an actual copy of the Warrants and Grants? The answer is "yes". Presently the fee to search the microfilm (even though you have all the information) is $10 for cost of photocopy and $15 for certified if out of state. If in state of Tennessee the photocopy is $5.00 and $5.00 extra for a certified copy. The address from which to request these would be: Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 (Phone 615-746-2764) When ordering you would need to give all the information about that Grant/Warranty as I have sent out. I inquired if there would be different information than what I find in the book. The librarian said she had not looked at this for a while but felt sure it would give no other information for genealogical purposes than that found in the Land Grant Book. The Librarian (a very nice lady) requested that I put their website out to you. Are you aware that you can go into a state-wide index and can request by email pre 1861 marriages for example at no charge? Charges would be only if you wish a copy sent you. And...you can get a copy of a surname list sent you for only a $5 fee? Here is the site: www.Tennessee.gov\tsla For the link above go to about the middle of the page and click on Local History Links. This will take you to services available and the Local History and Genealogy site. Find Research Services and the link to "Services Available by mail". You can google " Counties of Tennessee Maps". I find these sites very interesting and just "playing around" with them sometimes gives me some wonderful starts. You will also find on this website the information about the Family History Center in Salt Lake. This is a wonderful source for finding out more about an ancestor search. These files have been made up by both member and nonmember from records sent in by individuals. True, you may find some errors. Don't let those (or any in any census, etc. you find) bother you. Just consider it another source to continue on with your search. There is a lot to be found here and I would be happy to "phone walk" anyone through it to help you learn how to use it fully. For those thinking they need to go to Salt Lake to find information, please use this tool first. I find it most helpful to add only a surname in the Search mode and only the link United States (do not put in Tennessee, or another state name). Then you can scroll through all those names. Putting in a state may cut down the information you are looking for as someone may have listed that individual as by their middle name when you have entered in their first name, etc. This search will bring up any other spelling variations of the surname as well. I hope this information is helpful to each of you. Melba
