Our annual Summer research trip to TN is quickly approaching. We usually do one in the Spring as well, but that was temporarily suspended this year due to other obligations and the need to re-allocate time for the Federation of Genealogical Societies’ national convention in Philly! Basically, I’ll still have two major trips this year, but one will involve a train ride to the convention center.
I have set a few basic goals for this trip:
- I will complete a few of those nagging to do items which are actually close to the house.
- I will slow down & write (or type) legibly.
- I will sort, file, digitize (if necessary), analyze, and publish the data in a reasonable time.
Planned research stops so far:
- Nashville City Cemetery – Brunold, Diatikar, Staub graves (this time I will take the deed map)
- Webb Cemetery (Burkesville area) – Daniel & collateral graves (need GPS for this one)
- Auburn Cemetery (KY) – Johnson, Marrs, Maxwell, et al
- Gasper River Cemetery (KY) – Willaford, Wilson, et al
- Nashville National Cemetery – Diatikar grave
- Spring Hill Cemetery – Diatikar,et al
- TN State Archives – Fill out remainder of missing City Directories (Brunold, Diatikar, Gasser, Staub)
- Metro Archives – (I’ll think of something I need)
Additional Plans:
- Tennessee Central Railway Museum
- Lake Radnor State Natural Area
- Shelby Bottoms Greenway – Cumberland River Crossing
