Who has been to the City (?) Cemetery in Nashville? I think that was the
name. Actually I think it was more than one cemetery that just grew into
each other.
I went there over a year ago and thought we'd never get out of that place!
It's the MOST incredible cemetery I've ever seen. The tombstones are
beautiful........30 ft. high with life size angels, etc. on top all carved
out of marble and I don't mean just a few......more like ROWS of these
statues. Some are so sad they can make you cry. Also other huge ones that
are most unusual!
There is one man buried there in a pyramid! That is something to behold!
There are also rows and rows of nuns buried there.
I also found a tomb EXACTLY like my grgr-uncle's in Fayetteville, TN at the
Rose Hill Cemetery built into the side of big hill.
I've got pictures of all this and could scan and make a webpage for anyone
who's never been there.......as soon as we get my house back together.
Right now I'm straddling my scanner to even type this.
But for anyone who's never seen it........it's a MUST if you go to
Nashville!

Hi all,
This is really a good site. I ran a search on my maiden name and came up
with 63 under George Washington's papers. It will be nice to explore
more searches there.
This was useful info for the list.
Thanks,
Judy

Now that's what I was talking about. Everytime Spam gets through I get three
rejects for a name that doesn't appear on my list on the utility page! Yes! I
am not alone!
As for the other point I have another personal e-mail address that I keep
subscribed to my list. Unless both of my e-mail addresses get the spam I know
it didn't make it through. The Spam I am talking about did make it through. If
it doesn't make it through I don't get the three rejects. A possible clue?

All known UNION Civil war deaths, from the battle of Nashville, were
re-buried at Springhill Cemetery, in Madison, Tn. in and around 1869.
Actually, they are in the National Cemetery, across the street from
Springhill Cemetery.
Many were originally buried in the old Nashville City Cemetery, on 4th
Ave S., which was near much of the action. The cemetery and other nearby
cems. got so full, that there was little room left for the locals. A
general complaint was launched and they were collected from various
local cemeteries & re-buried at Madison. The cemetery office has a very
complete record system, on site. I had a great uncle who disappeared
from history and family records after he was 16, in 1860. I knew he was
just at the prime age when the war started, so for years suspected that
was where he had gone. His older brother, for some unknown reason, had
joined the UNION army, even though the family lived in Cannon Co., Tn. I
was able to finally locate his war records, and sure enough, he was
killed at the Battle of Nashville in 1863 and buried at the old City
Cemetery.
This currently is not in one of Nashville's better neighborhoods, but my
wife and I climbed the fence on 2 different occasions (it was late, OK)
Alas, no grave. Back to the archives again. Finally I found some old
record on the history of the cemetery and what had happened to the union
dead.
The National Cemetery at Madison, Tn. is well indexed and mapped. The
marked grave was very easy to locate. Madison is actually a surburb of
Nashville, and is about 10 miles NE of downtown Nashville.
Johnson County TNGenWeb Project page is back online thanks to
the efforts of Stephanie Ebel.
Please check her site out (and her lovely graphics!!!!). The URL for
Johnson County is http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnjohnso or link to the

Congrats for a job well done in a short time period.

Do you have Civil War Military Cemetery there near Nashville? We
have a
William Seward Allen that died there in a Nashville Hospital on 17
Nov.
1863, during the Civil War. He was a Union Soldier from New York
state.

Bridgett, this is indeed a very nice site. I downloaded item #35 that
comes up when you search on tennessee, an 1871 panoramic map of Knoxville,
and have printed an 16 x 20 version that I feel looks really good. I
should also be able to print any of the other images. If anybody sees one
they want printed, let me know. I can't print them for free, but I don't
intend to make a lot of money at it either.

Chip,
Check your headers real close on the spamming. Sometimes it only
comes to YOU, as list administrator, and not sent to the whole list.
None of my lists I manage have gotten spammed, it only comes to
me (which sometimes in itself is a pain in the patoot).
As far as your JIW1SMOKE(a)aol.com person is concerned,
unsubscribe this person and put on your reject list. This way they
cannot resubscribe to it. BTW, for each message going out to your
list that could not be received by an individual you will receive a msg
saying undeliverable from who ever their ISP is. I get numerous
ones especially with TNGreene -- I just go with the flow because
after 4 bounces -- the subscriber is automatically unsubbed.
I don't know if any of the above is something you already know, or is
of any help, hope so.

I know we've been over this before but here I go again. Spam makes me sick!
And no I don't mean the yummy meat by-product. Ever since our discussion of
spam the Union County list has been overwhelmed with spam. And to be honest a
good deal of it has gotten through. Rootsweb has great filters but they just
aren't catching it all anymore. But here is something interesting, everytime
the list gets spammed I get three copies of a letter like this one. Obviously
a faked AOL e-mail address (JIW1SMOKE(a)aol.com) used to join the list and
create some sort of temporary gateway to spam us. Of course I forward all spam
that gets through back to Rootsweb like they say to do, but I no longer get
any responses from them. We may be witnessing one of the first true pitfalls

I have quickly put together a page for the TNGenWeb main page
graphics. It needs a little bit of tweaking (forgot to put links back to
the graphics index.html page and other little things ::sigh::) -- but at
least it is up so you can go grab them.
The URL is http://www.tngenweb.org/graphics/quiltedpage.html
Have fun,

Greetings,
A few weeks ago I wrote that a graphic had a "ct" ligature.
I have had a few CCs ask, "What is a 'ct' ligature?"
Here is a direct URL for TNGenWeb Project graphic that uses that
ligature. Note the "ct" on the end of "Project."
http://www.tngenweb.org/graphics/tgwp~red.gif (1K)
Of course there are many other letters that may be hooked together to
form ligatures. See sample:
http://www.tngenweb.org/thrra/lig~1.gif (10k)
Some folks say that the ligature developed from the handwritting of the
monks and scribes. But then the ligature style moved to typefaces. It
was a typographers concern over the spaces between letters that lead to
so many variations. Then some that were made just to be fancy. While not
much used today, we will see them in early Tennessee books.
Also, if you click the second link, you will see at the bottom, two
letter combinations that end with the letter "s."
This first is the long "s" combined with the short "s." The second uses
a letter that looks like an "f" and with a "s" but the crossbar of the
"f" is not complete.
Both say the same thing: "ss."
I am not sure if the long "s" combinations qualify as ligatures, because
the two letters do not touch. Still these are fun to use when doing
words like Tennessee, Mississippi, etc. ;^)

Yes, it's beautiful --- is it in graphics? and can we use it?

Greetings,
I made a German map (period 1871-1918) showing a larger Germany than
what we see today. It has the political subdivisons that are also very
different.
I have it on my own web site.
http://www.dogtrot.com/deutsch.gif
I will put it on TGW, if someone has a need. Like a WWI project.
Copy it to a floppy if you have a personal need.
