BLOUNTCOUSINS.COM IS LAUNCHED

Cousin Craig Brown called me this weekend and shared that he recently launched a new website devoted to related families from Blount County, Tennessee. The website is blountcousins.com. I recommend that anyone related to the Self family check it out. I have already looked at it and I am pleased to recommend it to our Self cousins. The site primarily focuses on the Brown, Taylor, Hancock and Newberry families. I will try to get a link to this new website posted to my blog as soon as possible, but I wanted to get the news out quickly. Be sure to see this site at your earliest convenience.
