The Henderson County Historical Commission has been a tremendous help to me, even
though, I haven't received any family "info" from them. They will help with ANY
way they can!! They are trying to get anyone interested in family history, to
give them info to supply to others. They are trying to collect copies of family
Bibles, Confederates, etc.. Anyone interested in genealogy PLEASE turn your info
into them, so long after we are gone, someone else can carry on with our hard work
of researching. They take anything on a person that lived in Henderson County.
