The BCGHS will be working this Thursday, October 25, 2018, prepare The Blount Journal Fall 2018 issue for mailing. It will be 76 pages (80 including the covers). The feature article is Blount County's Fallen Police Officers by Timothy Walker. He also wrote an article about the signing Von Trapp family visiting Maryville in the 1930s.

New resources for locating genealogical and historical information is highlighted in several articles. Abstracted genealogy data of Black families in Blount County starts in this journal and will continue in the next few journals. Native American research in online records is another article.
An update on death certificate books for Blount County is given with an explanation of terms used in death certificates. Elaine Russell's article explains genealogy terminology. Locating places within Blount County and other Tennessee counties is the subject of this issue's "Look What I Found at the Blount County Public Library!" series.
