ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY ANCESTOR FAIR (Formerly Conway County Genealogical Association Ancestor Fair) Saturday, August 12, 2000 Multipurpose Building, Fairgrounds, Morrilton, AR 72110 For more information contact: Emery Francis 1204 Roberta Ann Sherwood, AR 72120 efrancis@flash.net

I received this from another list. Euna http://www.headstonehunter.com/ While still a relatively new site, only one month old, it has already received Ancestry.com's Family History Favorite award and Family Tree Magazine's Site of the Day award. If you are interested in either requesting photographs from those far away cemeteries or in helping other researchers by photographing stones in your local cemeteries, then you will definitely want to more fully investigate this web site. You can visit it by visiting http://www.headstonehunter.com/

good question, if you receive an "off list" answer to this one, I would be interested as well.. -- Lisa C.

don't know if you received an answer to this one yet, but I believe it was not until 1914. -- Lisa C.

Hi List Members -- I need some help. I can't seem to find a marriage license for Joseph Wesley Carlock to Dora Adaline Edmonson. The time should be between 1906 and 1909. I have checked Conway County & Yell County (you don't suppose I missed them ?). I need someone to check Pope, Perry, Newton, Logan, Searcy, Johnson, Van Buren, Falkner & Pulaski. Thanks for your help. yvonne ____________________________ Colorado Springs, Colorado reply to henson@rmi.net web page: http://www.rmi.net/~henson Names I am researching: BRENT(S), GRANT, EDMON(D)SON, HENSON, MCARTHUR ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.

Hi List Members-- Sometime in the last month on some list that I subscribe to, there were messages about a sheriff or constable list for either counties or the state of AR. I did not pay much attention then, NOW I need the info. Because I think an ancester my have been a constabel in Perry or Conway county. I also have been told that he was shot in the line of duty. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. yvonne ____________________________ Colorado Springs, Colorado reply to henson@rmi.net web page: http://www.rmi.net/~henson Names I am researching: BRENT(S), GRANT, EDMON(D)SON, HENSON, MCARTHUR ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
