Mr. H. William Helmbold, speaker for the day, willcover topics of interest to beginning, experienced, and professional genealogists.For information, contact the Society, 1465 Panorama Dr., Birmingham, AL 35216.
Don Vincent, 936 No. Skyline Dr., Tacoma, WA 98406, has sent us news of a book nowin the making. BesiGes writing a genealogical column for the Pulaski County Democrat,a newspaper in Waynesville, MO, Don is working to replace early records of PulaskiCounty, which were destroyed by fire in 1903. Facts collected on all residents atthe time of the county's first census in 1840 form the basis of the book, but moredata are needed to make the history as complete as possible; therefore, he requestsour help. Many of the early settlers in Pulaski came from Tennessee counties, especially the Rhea-McMinn-Roane-Blount-Monroe area. Large numbers came from NorthCarolina, Kentucky and Virginia, but most states in the south and mid-west were alsorepresented. If you have lost an ancestor in Missouri about 1840, you may find himin the Pulaski County 1840 Index, which you may purchase by sending $5.00 to Don atthe above address.

No marriages were recorded in South Carolina until after 1900 therefore, marriagerecords must be ferreted from other sources. These records were taken from OldAbbeville Court House records and purport to be the closest thing to known marriages that exist for people listed in the Old 96 and Abbeville legal records for theperiod 1777 to 1852. The names are taken from such things as wills, equi:ty records,deeds, etc. The "key" to finding out more data about the parties concerned is thebook Abstracts of old 96 and Abbeville District, S.C. by Pauline Young. The publisher has tried to clear up many "confused areas" in this publication of the recordsas originally compiled. He hopes the list of marriages will provide a start forfurther search of old records.

As was often the case in early times, many deeds were registered late and thesecond entry is dated 29 Mar 1780, 300A granted to David Alexander. Many entries ofthe 1780's follow, and there is at least one dated 17 Nov 1760, Jacob Evans to Jeffery Beck. This book is a gem for 18th century research in central NC.

Sumner County was erected in 1786 when Tennessee was still a part of North Carolina.The county was an important crossroads for migration from east to west and froDl KYsouthward. The author states in her preface, "For some unknown reason the Clerk ofSumner County did not record the early marriages in a book or ledger, as was the custom. The marriages listed here derive instead from original marriage bonds and unrecorded licenses found amongst loose papers in the courthouse in Gallatin. Someoriginal bonds had been lost or were taken from the courthouse before I made my original transcriptions in 1937." This is one of several new publications by Mrs.Whitley which contain marriage information from middle Tennessee counties.

Although Mecklenburg County was formed in 1763 from Anson County, the earliest surviving bond is dated 1783. The marriage bonds themselves are on file at the NorthCarolina Archives in Raleigh. The abstracts in this book were made from micro-filmcopies of both the bonds and the register kept from 1851-1867 by the Register ofDeeds in Mecklenburg County.

THE THURMANS, A WEST KENTUCKY PIONEER FAMILY, 1815-1980 by John O. Braswell. 1980.Soft back. 158 pp. Order from author, P.O. Box 292, Kennett, MO 63857. $20.00.
The author grew up in Calloway County, Kentucky but left there at the age of 22. Fortythree years later he returned to visit kin and the idea of a Thurman Family Reunion wasborn. This event sparked interest in a family tree and the book began to take shape.The family is traced from Halifax County, VA in 1815 through Robertson County, TN in1841 and then to Calloway County, KY by 1856, but the author concedes "We have coneentratedon the known facts of the present ••• rather than of the past." He solicits theaid of all who would like to add facts and further research. We are treated to familycharts, stories and pictures, and reprints of newspaper notices.
COSBY FAMILY RECORDS, VOL I by Don Simmons. 1981. Soft back. 72 pp. Indexed. Orderfrom author, Route 1, Melber, KY 42069. $4.00.
This book is a pot pourri of data gathered by the author and others on the Cosbys inthe Southern states. Forthcoming will be another volume on Cosbys in other statesand possibly a third volume on the western movement. Disproved is the assumption thatonly one immigrant started the Cosby line in America, as several early immigrants havesurfaced, two of them before 1700. This collection of facts is taken from tax listsof the late 1700's and early 1800's, wills and administrations, censuses, other publications, bible records and military records. Many different family groups are outlined. This is a gold mine for anyone with a Cosby line. The author welcomesadditional information.

THE MASTER SURNAME INDEX
The MASTER SURNAME INDEX contains thousands of cards represent~ng individuals found in the familytrees of our subscribers. Our file is, not restricted to any particular locality" b\lt covers families who lived in various European countries and in every state of the United States.
Subscribers may request information from this file by writing to the Tennessee GenealogicalSociety, P. O. Box 12124, Memphis, TN 38112. They will receive information from four (4) surname cards and names & address~s of those working on the same surname. Please send a SELFADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE, and limit requests to one each three (3) weeks as this has provedto be a poplar service and an effort is being made to expedite your replies.
WE DO NOT DO FAMILY RESEARCH.O~Y MEMBERS AND SUBSCRIBERS MAY USE THIS SERVICE.
You can help make this file more effective by sending us a 3x5 inch file card (no other sizewill fit our files!) for EACH member of your family tree to be added to this Master Index. Cards,should be typed or printed very plainly.
Please give the data listed on the sample card below in preparing your cards. Children should belisted on the back. Each card should contain at least one date and one place, even if they areestimated Ot guessed. This will enable us to determine that a perSOn who lived in one area inthe 17th century is a different person from one (with the same name) who lived in another area inthe 19th century. Please keep your address current with the Surname Index secretary; the indexis revised every five years and if you have not written in that time, your surname cards aretransferred to another file for use in the genealogical library.
