  • National Genealogical Society
    The National Genealogical Society: A Look at Its First One Hundred Years By Shirley Langdon Wilcox, CG, FNGS 31 October 2003 The National Genealogical Society: A Look at Its First One Hundred Years By Shirley Langdon Wilcox, CG, FNGS 31 October 2003 In 1903 American interest in the country's past ran high. For several national hereditary organizations headquartered in Washington, D.C., patriotism was a centerpiece. Their officials included registrars and others whose interests also embraced genealogy, and membership required tracing family lineages. In April 1903 the monthly Historical Bulletin, which served as the official news organ for several of the groups (see figure 1) published a call for the formation of a genealogical society. Dr. Albert C. Peale, registrar of the Society of Colonial Wars and assistant registrar of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution, had suggested “the formation of a local genealogical society” [emphasis added];1 the Bulletin’s publisher, Newton Leon Collamer, announced an organizational meeting at his home in Washington, D.C., and suggested that “such an organization might eventually assume even a National scope.”2 On 24 April 1903, six individuals met to discuss a plan: Dr. Joseph G. B. Bulloch, Newton L. and Gertrude Collamer, Alfred Barbour Dent, Eugenia Washington Moncure, and Ruth M. Griswold Pealer. Shortly afterwards, an organizing committee mailed to genealogists throughout the United States a Prospectus for the American Genealogical Association.3 Its principal aims, as shown in figure 2 included • publishing records to benefit researchers at a distance; • ensuring access to records; • creating a “card index bureau” or “clearinghouse” to facilitate the exchange of information; and • establishing a library.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Tennessee Bible Records and Tennessee Tombstone Inscriptions, 1930-1933 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Acklen, Jeannette Tillotson, 1871- Inclusive Dates: 1930-1933 Scope & Content: Consists of two volumes containing tombstone inscriptions and genealogical data copied from cemetery records, family bible records, and histories of cemeteries with notarized affidavits certifying records. The two volumes are the typescript, unpublished versions of the two volumes that were later published. They highlight Revolutionary War soldiers and the record keeping of several Tennessee chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Volume 1 mainly lists the tombstone inscriptions and cemeteries. Volume 2 lists numerous family bible records that include births, deaths, and marriages. Some records include extended family biographies, copies of wills, and obituaries. Made from compiled carbon copies, these volumes have several markings demonstrating the editing process.
