New Queries Added

I have just added 4 new queries to our query page ... and don't forget those already out there. If you aren't in the habit of visiting that page, please do so, you never know when you might have just the information someone is looking for (or they might have just what you need).

You can find it at:

http://sites.google.com/site/davidsoncounty/home/queries-and-look-ups/newest-queries


Also, our parent site, TNGenWeb has opened our new query board there for all the counties in Tennessee, as well as general Tennessee information. Be sure to visit there as well.

http://boards.tngenweb.org/

The query boards can be a great resource for information if we all participate. So, any time you are at our site and have a moment, take a quick peek and see what's new there .... the names are listed alphabetically, but I will work on a way to highlight the newest entries so that if you drop in regularly you can quickly scan what's new.

Also, please remember, if you have a suggestion for something you would like to see on the Davidson County site, or have an idea for a way you think we can do something better, feel free to drop me an e-mail (evancol@yahoo.com)... the site is for everyone, so I would love to have your input.

Thanks,
Jane

Black Nashville

Did you know that Nashville had a newspaper for the African American community? I didn't. You cannot run out and get a copy, it was only published the first half of the 1900's.

But, you can re-live history and maybe find some of your own by subscribing to and reading Black Nashville, a blog dedicated to African American history in Nashville, and predominately featuring information/articles from the Black Globe, that very Nashville publication.

Even if you won't find your own history among the Globe's pages, it is still a rich part of the history of Nashville.

Find it here ...
