![]() To HENDERSON COUNTY TENNESSEE "Tennessee Trails"
|
Hello - my name is
Christine Walters , and my name is Amanda Jowers. We are
the County Co-Ordinators for Henderson County. We both live in Lexington, Amanda being a life long resident, and Christine being a transplant from Illinois.
Genealogy Trails, throughout the United States, is dedicated to bringing
"free" genealogical and historical information to all. Although we can't do personal research for you,
we can promise that we'll do everything in our power to help you as much as possible.
Along with all the general interests, we will put a more personal touch on the county, and will feature the "Pioneer Families".
While we are out searching for all these things we'd like to invite all of you to send us what you know about your ancestors.
This isn't the place to park your family tree and gedcoms, but it is the place to present the history behind it, and tell everyone about those who "blazed" the "Tennessee Trails."
This post card was made by Steve McDaniel (Tennessee State Legislature) created for his "Cotton Patch Restaurant" about 1980.
