While it has not yet been formally announced, some of you who were at the recent National Genealogical Society annual conference in Portland, Oregon may already be aware of a number of television camera crews in the Exhibitor's Hall on Friday and Saturday. You may also have seen me holding a microphone and standing in front of a television camera, sometimes alone and at other times interviewing various people. The camera crews are from The Studio, Inc., and they have a major project underway that will be of interest to genealogists all over the United States. Now they are seeking your input. The Studio, Inc., isn't exactly a stranger to genealogy. In the past 13 months they have produced more than 20 genealogy and family history videos, using several well-known genealogy experts as hosts. I have reviewed a number of these videos in this newsletter, and I believe there will be even more videos released in the near future. I received the following this morning & thought I would pass it along.... During the NGS 2001 conference, crews from The Studio conducted interviews with experts in attendance and documented some of the convention. Producer Stephen Lemmon of The Studio plans to develop a television series dealing with the subject of family history. Judging from their track record, they are serious about what they say. Several well-known genealogy experts are involved with this potential new television show. The large genealogy conference in Portland was an excellent place to find genealogy products, services and experts. I was asked to host a segment of this series that highlights some of the products represented in the exhibit hall. We hope that this part of Family History Television will become a TV version of this newsletter. The Studio is looking for input in a short survey. They would like to know if you are interested in such a Family History Television program, what type of content you would like to see, and whether you prefer it to be carried on cable, satellite, or both. They are not collecting any personal data or e-mail addresses for marketing in any way. You will notice that they never ask for your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. If you would like to see television programming for family history become available, please take a minute and fill out a short on- line survey at http://www.familyhistory.tv/survey. ============================== Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp --------------E2D07DAE5CD43AB35ACA00A3--

Colleen, In the book "Historic Williamson County - Old Homes and Sites" there is a two-page article on Sugar Hill and Thomas Hardeman. If you will send me your snail-mail address, i will copy the information and send it to you. Too long for me to send via e-mail. Noel [email protected]

Does anyone on this list have information on a "Sugar Hill" plantation in Williamson County? I believe it was owned by Thomas HARDEMAN and his wife, Mary HARDING PERKINS. Thanks a million! Colleen Taylor

My 14 year old son would like to travel to the Williamson County, Tennessee area on the 4th of July. He is interested in seeing any Civil War Battlefields and other Civil War sites. What is there? Who should I contact? Would anything be open on Wednesday - the 4th of July? Thanks, Colleen Taylor Researching the HARDING - GATLIN- STEWART(STUART) families of early Williamson County

If you need anything more let me know. Noel

Thanks for letting me know about the mistake. This just came with some more addresses so sending it out again. I wrote that the hobby was a fast growing one that was giving many more people pride in their country and ancestors and how much history we were learning and that this was our last resort in many cases to learn maiden names of women. Also emphasized what a handicap it was to so many of the new friends I have made who are housebound and on low budgets and that this will greatly decrease their ability to participate in their new found friendships and hobby. For those not knowing. President was spelled wrong in the one I sent before so unless you retyped it it bounced. Jerilyn This is untenable, since many people who do genealogy are older retired > folks on fixed income... and this large increase appears to be intended to discourage the public from access to documents under the Freedom of > Information Act. > > How can it cost $27 to receive a request, then make and mail a copy of the one page document??? ...Government is not intended to be making a > profit...

Fellow listers, Here’s an appeal to all of you to pull out the copies of the SSAN application forms you already have filed away in your "stuff" and post them at Rootsweb. I just did it for the ones I have and it’s really easy. :O) 1. Go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/ 2. Scroll down the home page to Social Security Death Index and click on it. 3. Enter the name of the person who is on the form you have into the search engine. 4. When the right entry comes up, go over to the far right and click on "Add Post-Em" link. 5. The "Fill in the blank" form will come up and you can type in the information just like it’s printed on the form you have in your hands! 6. Include all the information in the order that it is entered on the form, so that others have the advantage of all that information. NOTE: You don’t have to type in the SS Number for the person as the Rootsweb program includes it. Since the cost of these forms will be increasing substantially next week, it would be good if EVERYONE put out the information they already have. Then whoever else is searching for that same person won’t be required to pay the new price for the same form you have in your files. And vice-versa! If we all "plant seed," we’ll all get the crop! And thank Goodness for Rootsweb providing this service to all of us for FREE! Be well & God bless, Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota [email protected] or [email protected]

I just thought I would spread the word that the fees for getting a copy of a Social Security Application are going up drastically on 1 July 2001. If you apply before then you will be charged the old amount which is now $7 if you know the number, and $16.50 if you do not. The new fees are posted at: http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm It appears that the increases are more than substantial, they are gigantic. This means that the time for procrastination is over. The address you need to send them to is: Social Security Administration Office of Central Records Operation Attention: Freedom of Information Workgroup PO Box 17772 300 N. Greene Street Baltimore, MD 21290 Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota [email protected] or [email protected]

The East Tennessee Historical Society is unveiling a new family heritage program, Civil War Families of Tennessee. Civil War Families of Tennessee (CWFT) seeks to identify and honor the sacrifices of the valiant soldiers on both sides of the conflict. This lineage program will link current descendants with their Civil War ancestors, encourage new research, and combine the experiences of thousands of individuals and families to tell more fully the story of the Civil War in Tennessee. If you are a direct or collateral descendant of any individual who served in Tennessee during the Civil War-Union or Confederate-you are eligible for membership in CWFT. Service may have been in either a Tennessee unit or any non-Tennessee unit which was active in the state. Membership is also open through an ancestor who served elsewhere but lived in Tennessee either before, during, or after the war. In order to recognize the service of the many young men who died unwed and without children, CWFT offers membership through collateral descent also. Like its sister program, First Families of Tennessee, CWFT applications and membership files will be housed in the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (Knoxville, Tennessee) of the Knox County Public Library System where together the two projects will provide an unparalleled resource for family and historical research in the Volunteer State. CWFT members will receive a handsome certificate with the names of the applicant and the ancestor, along with the name of the ancestor's company and regiment. A roster of the members and their ancestors will eventually be published in book form. CWFT members will also be recognized at a grand reunion to be hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society. For additional information about the Civil War Families of Tennessee project, including a downloadable application form, please visit the ETHS web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org. Anyone unable to download a form may request an application form by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Civil War Families of Tennessee c/o ETHS PO Box 1629 Knoxville, TN 37901-1629 Additional questions about the new CWFT project may also be addressed to [email protected] (Please note that ETHS does not provide email-based research assistance at this time.) The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of East Tennessee. The society's programs and activities are made possible through the support of its membership. The society's First Families of Tennessee family heritage program was founded in 1992 and now includes more than 13,000 members in 50 states and eight foreign nations.
