Queries and Widgets

TNGenWeb has the new query board up and ready for your posts....

http://boards.tngenweb.org/list.php?67


Check here to find our new widget for the blog. You can grab it for your home page or blog. It is a great way to keep up with when we post new content to the Davidson County web site. It reads the blog and will give you the newest information available.

Also, be sure and check out the new widget available on our Davidson County web site, a widget that you can use to submit information to be placed on our query pages. It can be found on the front page of the Davidson County site, along with the widget for this blog and the information for the TNGen query board.

And you will want to watch the blog for other interesting information. Between postings about new web site content, we will be featuring "getting to know" segments that will focus on resources available to the Davidson County researcher.

Feel free to include in comments here any resource you would like more information on, or maybe something you need/want that you are not aware if there is a research resource available.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. I cannot find what I want. I need to find out if there exists a list of Confederate prisoners who died in Nashville in January 1865. I know that the person I am searching for was buried in Nashville in what is now downtown. The dead were either bulldozed or were reburied. I once had the number of his grave and my brother looked for it about 10 years ago. I then talked to a woman in a Tennessee confederate organization (?)who said these graves were moved to a cemetery outside of Nashville and she would find the information for me. She did not reply. Can you help me? My grandmother's uncle, Captain John Singleton Elgin, was an aide to General Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was captured in Huntsville, Alabama on January 1, 1865, sent to a prison hospital in Nashville where he died January 15, 1865.Thank you for any help or information you might be able to give me.
