Our
Mission
Story
Tellers
* To explore
the history of the region.
* To
identify the uniqueness of the area. Bordering counties,
such as Franklin, Maury, Giles,
Coffee and Madison County, AL are also identified with this area.
Researchers may have trouble linking a particular county with "The Ridge."
Hopefully we would be able to help.
* To
preserve and restore family cemeteries that are in disrepair or have been
abandoned.
* To
display the many surnames
of the people who
settled in the area and to promote the research of them.
* To
promote an annual meeting of the Chestnut Ridge
Cousins, for the purpose of fellowship, the exchange of family information,
and the promotion of educational programs through informative speakers.
* To
share stories and photos that have been passed
down, being careful not to embarrass anyone. The submitter
should clearly indicate which stories have been verified and which ones
have not.
* To
develop plans to make as much of our genealogical and historical information
as possible available to future generations via print or the Internet.
