Hi Nancy: I don't think it's list clutter at all. Can't we all use a little research help on occasion? I know I always soak up hints and suggestions that are offered to the list. I have had the opportunity to visit the Batesville library and found their resources to be very useful. I don't know about the other counties. If you can find time you might want to come to Jonesboro and visit the Craighead County library (ASU has a lot of records too). They have an extensive genealogy section and all the Arkansas counties you mentioned are covered. Also if you are going very far back in time, most of the areas were Lawrence County. Enjoy your time and prepare for the heat!
