I live in Indiana, but travel to Lebanon 2-3 times a year to visit family, so I'm "sorta" familiar with the area. Missy Foster-Rose :) >> The best place to do Tennessee genealogy research in Nashville is at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. It is located on Seventh Avenue right beside the State Capitol building. They have lots of books and microfilm, and probably as much on any given place in Tennessee as any other repository. They also have good extended hours, but parking is not easy during the week. Here is a link to their web site. <A HREF="http://search.aol.com/redirect.adp?appname=QBP&query=%8b%37%6d%75%93%00% eb%90%c7%fd%5f%b5%fa%1a%b2%80%30%4e%2e%85%64%2d%8e%ca%eb%8f%86%c0%fe%7a%46%74% ed%11%b9%3d%f7%a2%31%42%05%a0%f2%60%42%a2%49%71%d4%17%ba%ec%fa%fd%64%ac%a5%4b% e8%8b%7b%bd%74%a2%ff%33%51%01%6a%c1%a1%84%d6%6d%8c%df%71%58%d2%26%7d%34%aa%86% 42%a9%e6%60%20%58%3c%7b%b8%89%27%65%4f%e7%ee%59%d6%30%f5%87%34%5d%0f%bd%fd%50% ef%c7%3f%e7%96%b2%62%0c%c1%56%fc%ce%f3%7c%d9%b2%2f%c7%07%ce%77%a4%18%9c%5b%9b% 3c%31%c7%d8%90%54%85%d0">Click here: Tennessee State Library and Archives</A> You might also check out the Wilson County Archives in Lebanon, which is another great resource with original records and many unique things only available there.
