    I found this webinar very interesting regarding formation of states/counties and changing borders. My gr-gr-gr-grandfather was born in North Carolina, married someone from South Carolina, first child was born in Tennessee, and ended up in Kentucky. Makes me wonder how many moves were really made!

    Mark Lowe never ceases to amaze me. He continues to come up with unusual topics to educate us about. I try never to miss one of his wonderful webinars. I've also been fortunate enough to have heard him in person four times.
