A True Story: In the corner of an attic in Chattanooga, Tennessee, several hundreds of files lay gathering dust. Between the hunger of rats and insects, they were slowly being destroyed. At first, the young man looking through the documents could not understand them. With the help of a friend, he slowly began to realize the worth of his discovery. Between the spider webs, dust, and mold there were records, lots of records ... church records, bible records, cemetery records, and miscellanous records. Finally the true nature of the documents was confirmed: they were the lost Shelby County, Tennessee WPA Records. With a full-name index of 5,552 names (over 90% mentioned only once), this publication is a vital resource for any Shelby County researcher or historian. Included is a wealth of information: family sketches, Bible Records, letters, births, deaths, marriages, wills, hospital registers, obituaries, previously unpublished Civil War Records, and more.
