The fourteen books included on this CD cover a time period both shortly before and shortly after Tennessee was erected as a state from North Carolina in 1796 and identify a large proportion of Tennessee's original settlers. Compiled from traditional record sources, these books generally contain a selection of county, state, church, and family records, specifically cemetery records; Bible records; records of deeds, wills, and marriages; Revolutionary and War of 1812 payroll and pension records; militia records; and census records. Of the 165,000 persons named in these books, many are found in the carefully crafted genealogies which the authors developed from out-of-the-way sources in North Carolina and Tennessee. United by a single electronic index, the following books are included on this easy-to-use Family Archive CD:
*Tennessee Genealogical Records: Records of Early Settlers from State and County Archives
*Tennessee Records: Bible Records and Marriage Bonds
