Brick walls, et al.
Posted By Libbi On 9 May 2008 @ 09:57 In Genealogy Sites, Genealogy Online | No Comments
Met another genealogist at a [1] Gulf Breeze Chamber event, and she has a brick wall in Tennessee. Tammy Isaacs’ ancestor appears in censuses but the birth place recorded varies.
First, of course, I urged her to [2] buy my book. Then, I suggested these sites:
[3] East Tennessee History Center, First Families of Tennessee and their [4] book
The [5] Tennessee Archives, for the early [6] tax lists. When you find the metes and bounds of a land parcel, and map it, then you can find who the neighbors were. Sometimes the neighbors are also relatives, or about to be, at the time the tax was paid. The archives site also has a directory [7] Tennessee Historical Agencies.
Most libraries now have online card catalogs, and a list of the ones in Tennessee are gathered on one [8] url at the Archives site.
The [9] Tennessee GENWEB for the counties where the ancestor appears.
The [10] LDS Research Guide for Tennessee.
And of course, my book!
