Dean's Picks - recommended McGee Family surfing - December 2001

What's New
This page lists items that I think are new and interesting for December, 2001.
It includes quite a number of items from our trip to Tennessee for the McGee Reunion
last August, our second Tennessee trip this year, and it includes a number of new
and significant contributors. It is exciting to see the family lines growing
with all the new contributions; the contributor's work is truly appreciated.
The number of individuals included in this site has increased by
nearly 50% from slightly over 4000 in June to over 6000 now. There were 251
individuals with primary photos in June and there are 385 now. The number of
photographs, images, and transcriptions has grown by over 500 to nearly 1700.
- Tennessee
- McGee Reunion name index and the McGee Reunion Collection include a number photographs, clippings and other images from the McGee Reunion
Notebooks as shared by Secretary Shirley Douglass. Especially, the photograph for
the 1988 McGee Reunion which has most
the cousins identified and image mapped. If your browser is Internet
Explorer, a thumbnail image and name will pop up as you move the cursor over an
identified McGee cousin. I appreciate any help with identifying family relationships
for those which are not yet identified.
- Tennessee Cemeteries includes newly added cemeteries in DeKalb County of Whorton Springs and
Smithville and new Warren County cemeteries of Hill's Creek and Smyrna.
- Tennessee Scenery and Landmarks
includes new Warren County scenery of Collins River, The Birthing Tree and
Cumberland Caverns.
- Marriage Records
includes a number of images of microfilmed Warren County marriage records
between 1852-1877.

so much help during our trip to Tennessee. She gave us tours of the McMinnville
area, reviewed all the McGee reunion notebook material with us, and provided
substantial additional McGee family information as noted on the name list.
