To all you vacationers who may be coming through Memphis -- our library at 2233 Madison Avenue is open on Thursdays from 11:00 to 3:00.

Sincerely, AS~ U. /11..,.,. c... .~lrs. Henry Norfleet Moore President fI Ansearchin• fI News -52- Notes From the Editor's Desk Please note that our issues are placed in the mail at the end of each quarter, March, June, September and December. We mail onabulkmailingpermit.third class, and as the Postmaster has the privilege of holding all third class mail for thirty days your bulletin may be delayed. Many queries which have been received do not relate to Tennessee or have a specific date or name included. These are being returned for detailed questions. Please do not send us a long string of surnames only with no specific question asked. We need your cooperation. We are planning to publish more of the-Tax Lists for counties where no records are extant. There is no 1800 census for Tennessee and only two counties ·have an 1810 census, therefore, we are searching for records, not previously published, which will supplement this lack. We also have a file of very early will indexes which will be published in the near future. News and Notes on Other Publications THE HAPPY HUNTER, Cumberland County Genealogical Society, Mary E.
