I don't believe you'll find what you are looking for online, at this time anyway, records are released and transcribed all the time. You never know when this database will become public.

Oversees Consular Staff records

geoff_browne — 2011-03-08 10:37:37Z

Does anyone know where one would go to access records for staff of overseas UK embassies ?

For example, I have discovered that my Great-Uncle Edward Browne worked as an officer at the British Consolate in Budapest, Hungary in the 1960s and I wondered if it would be possible to find out more about his career (since I am his only remaining relative).

TN State Archives

Sorry some of you are having problems getting your information from our archives. Tennessee is not the "LONE RANGER". VA, NC and KY are in the same boat. It is expensive and takes a long time to get your requests. For many years NC has asked that you complete a form, they in turn search, then send you a notice as to the cost. You mail your check and then you get your info. Recently I contacted the KY Historical Society (have been a member for many years) about a search and I was told to get the form from the internet(or they would send one)and send $12.00 along with the form. Canadian research is about the same. Also, some years ago, we traveled up to Frankfort KY to the archives and we were only allowed to take a pad and pencil into the research room. There were cameras in the research room and a guard was stationed at a desk in the foyer watching monitors. Here in Knoxville, we have one of the best research libaries in the southeast and they have had to take similar measures. Pad and pencil and when you leave your materials will be checked by one of the workers. This has been brought about by people stealing materials and books. I cannot imagine why someone would actually take something for themselves out of the libary. The collection of historical materials and books are there for all to use and I believe we should all try to take care of it rather that abuse.

Does anyone have a copy of this 324-page document which I found in the Index from the South Carolina Archives online? I would love to know what it says about William Downing. http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/details.asp?index=423...
Thank you.
