Original SFA Records donated to Sullivan County, Tennessee libiary

According to a post on the "Searching for the Lost Colony DNA Blog" dated Sunday, September 16, 2007 Pat Spurlock Elder donated thirty years of Spurlock Family Association research to the Sullivan County Library in Blountville, TN. The only Spurlock data retained was information that connects to Elder's direct line." Considering that the first issue of the SFA Quarterly was published in the Spring of 1988, I can only assume that Pat must have included all of her research prior to that. I contacted the library by phone and confirmed that the data is there and accessible by the public with the stipulation that it may not be copied.
