Later from many places I found one of the best places to learn more was from Dr George K Schweitzer, PhD.ScD. Having attended many of his talks I can say you missed a terrifically knowledge man and his presentations. TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH by him was brought for our Society . I have no idea if we have it any more. He mentions a book of great importance in his book and I did not go forward with the research. But learning the family I was tracking belongs to both my MOM’s family and to my husband’s, I hope to go back and pick up the pieces later this year. The book he recommended is “ TN HISTORY; A BIBLIOGRAPHY, UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE Press., KNOXVILLE, TN 1974 He mentions 3 more in this one I have. He actually mentions lots of other places to research within his region If I recall right He is from Tennessee. Tidbits for you.
