You may come across an ancestor who worked as a blacksmith in Memphis in the early 1800s. For more facts about him, query the local county courthouse for records concerning him, such as marriage and death certificates. Be aware that your community library can be of great assistance. If the branch is large enough, it should have a copy of the Directory of Historical Societies and Agencies in the United States and Canada. But even if it doesn't, the librarian will still be able to direct you to historical libraries and genealogical societies that will be glad to help you track down ancestors.
