Recent Queries Posted

Updated 22 Jan 2010

The TNGenWeb project's WebBBS queries system was hacked in Spring, 2009. If you submitted a query after January 1, 2009, please resubmit (see link in Menu).

Queries prior to January 1, 2009, were not damaged. They will be back on-line as soon as the new system is functional.

While the system is down, queries will be posted to this site as they are received.

Early Queries Posted to this Site

The first queries system for the TNGenWeb project was in place from approximately July, 1996, to December, 1998. Queries were e-mailed to the site host(esse)s, who placed them on-line in plain HTML pages. There was no opportunity to post responses as there is now.

Queries posted from August, 1996, to early 2000, are now available on this Web site for reference. There is a gap in 1999.
Note that most of the e-mail addresses are probably invalid by now. If you can update any of them, please contact the Webmistress (link in Menu).

Please be advised that these are LARGE files and may take up to one minute to display completely, depending on your connection speed.

DumplinTN E-Mail Discussion List

In 1997, Billie McNamara started a mailing list, called DumplinTN, primarily for Jefferson and Sevier County researchers. Discussions also include Jefferson County's parents (Hawkins and Greene, pre-1792) and other children (Cocke, Hamblen, and part of Blount).

To subscribe to the list or learn more about it, visit the list information page (http://www.discoveret.org/mailman/listinfo/dumplintn/).

Post & View Queries

One of the most-active parts of this site is the queries section, where researchers leave information about their ancestors and others so anyone else with the same interests can make contact.

The TNGenWeb queries system was damaged in the Spring of 2009. Some of the older queries are still available on this Web site. Some were lost when the preceding automated TNGenWeb system was hacked. Our technical staff continues to attempt to reconstruct queries posted to the previous system. We appreciate your patience.
