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.
