I am looking for someone to help me on some names that go back to the Civil War. Any ideas. Thanks, Al

Oh I guess it would have helped for me to tell everyone where it is. It's at the East Tennessee Historical Society at the McClungs building in downtown Knoxville. I'm sure Shane will announce it along with the hours to our list. Chip Union County TnGenWeb

I would like to take a minute to congratulate one of our own. The host of Knox County, Shane Rhyne, for making it on the local morning news. About 6:50 this morning I was laying in bed flipping channels debating the virtues of getting up and starting a new day. Then an article on the channel 10 morning news caught my eye and interest. It was about a new exhibit I believe called "The Four Horsemen". It was about four local Tennessee men who left to fight for the Union during the Civil War. Shane has a collection of their belongings on display. And guess who was telling us about it? Shane himself right there on TV. I will say that it was a very interesting looking exhibit, and as Seinfeld says "A definite must see". I'll probably stop by and have a look. I must ask Shane though on his graphic of dark blue Tennessee Counties that sided with the Union, what was that one county right in the middle that was shaded the opposite color? I usually only stop on the local morning news long enough to make fun of whatever topic they present...How to get rid of toe fungus...How to create a festive pinata...or whatever other topic they hope to win an award with, but this morning was very interesting. Way to go Shane! If you're anywhere near Knoxville, try to get by and see the exhibit. Chip Union County TnGenWeb

It may not help but you might try the USGenWeb Archives: http://www.usgenweb.org/ And also the TnGenWeb Civil War Pages http://www.tngenweb.org/civilwar/ Chip Union County TnGenWeb

A new message, "census lookup," was posted by Ann on Mon, 01 Feb 1999 --- NAME: Ann EMAIL: shootme@acadiacom.net SURNAMES: Mckee DATE: Feb 01 1999 QRYTEXT: Was wondering if anyone had access to the 1860 census to do a look up. I viewed the 1860 census head of household that you have at the website but need to find out about a person who would have been a child at the time. His name was Euil or Euel Mckee. He was born in 1855. I thought he might be the child of Calvin Mckee listed in the census you have on line but can't prove it. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I know that Euil Mckee was born in Maynardville, TN. according to his obit. Thanks again, Ann.

Dear Cousins, I know death certificates are of relatively recent advent, but does/did Union County have a death index before the death certificate period? Absent that, is there anyone in our vast audience who can possibly, through cemetery records, chase down a few death dates for me? Specifically, it's my Nicely kin: James (b. around 1795), another James (b. around 1829) and their wives, Susan and Mary Ann. I'm not even sure whether they're buried in Union Co., or perhaps Claiborne or Grainger. Sorry for the request, but what shifting county boundaries couldn't do to mess up genealogy, the TVA did in spades! Thanks for your patience. Jim
