Hi gang, I have just placed online the death abstracts found in the 1930 issues of the Newport Daily Independent. This file can be found in the USGenWeb Jackson County Archives (scroll down to the bottom of the webpage): http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/jackson/jackson.html [I sent a similar message yesterday (18 Nov) but it seems to be lost in cyberspace - apologies if this turns out to be a double posting!] Mark Williamson ARJACKSO listkeeper [email protected]

Hi Folks! I imagine that most of us doing genealogy probably use Windows 95 or Windows 98 as our computer operating system. This is something I ran across in the Eastman Genealogy Newsletter that you may find of some interest. * Microsoft Pulls Plug on Windows 95/98 Microsoft recently introduced Windows XP with a lot of fanfare. However, the company has been a bit quieter about its announcement to cancel support for older operating systems. Starting next month, Microsoft will begin pulling the plug on support for Windows 95 and Windows 98. Support is an expense for Microsoft. It can maximize its profits by shutting down support for older products and pushing everyone towards buying newer, supported Microsoft products. There's nothing new here hundreds of other software companies have made similar support decisions on older versions of their programs. Buried deep in the Windows XP announcements you can find a note that Microsoft will cease to provide support for MS DOS, Windows 3.xx, and Windows NT 3.5x in December, 2001. At the same time, support will become limited for Windows 95. In June 2002, Microsoft will cease to provide full support for Windows 98 and Windows NT version 4.0. This will leave the overwhelming majority of current Windows users without operating system support. So what's the big deal? You probably don't call Microsoft for support now. Any time you have a question you probably ask a friend, a relative, a co-worker or perhaps you post a message on one of the online forums. Since you never ask Microsoft for support, you might feel that this issue will not affect you. Keep in mind, however, that the companies that produce your favorite software depend upon Microsoft a lot more than you do. They not only have "how-to" questions, but they also depend upon bug fixes and support alerts. None of those will be forthcoming in the future for the older versions of Windows. Only Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP will be supported. If these companies cannot obtain needed support, they may not be able to produce software for your system. I wouldn't be surprised to see software listed within the next year that is certified to operate only on Windows XP, 2000 and ME. All older versions of Windows will be unsupported. If you install a program on Windows 98 and then encounter a problem, the producing company may not be able to help you. Microsoft has moved to a standard 3-year product lifecycle now. That's all that anyone can expect to get by way of formal support from Microsoft for all their products. The company will offer limited "extended support" available another year; "extended support" is a synonym for "paid support" on a per-call basis. In other words, have a credit card handy when you call for assistance. One side note: Microsoft's "Desktop Product Lifecycle Guidelines" affect all of their products, not just operating systems. Similar policies have been implemented (or will soon be implemented) on Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Money, Flight Simulator and hundreds of other programs produced by the company. If you want to see when Microsoft will pull the plug on support for your software, look at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.asp and at http://support.microsoft.com/directory/discontinue.asp. -- Robert W.

Just starting my search for anyone with pioneer Jackson County family information that has these 3 families listed. I am looking for a few brickwalls that may have made temporary or permanent residences from 1850-1870. From my recent research into Tippah County MS and Woodruff County Ark history i find that there were numerous family members that made trips to Jackson County to see family. The names of the family and the exact location are still unclear since i am converting 1850 era diaries into lists of family , friends , neighbors etc. I will try to list a few brickwalls that are all from the same era that are all missing that were known to have been in and around Jackson County various times during 1850 -1870. Shadrick W Shivers John W Shivers Thomas Shivers Menan Shivers Benjamin Franklin Shivers Evelina Permelia Shivers Jeremiah Shivers Cynthia Redditt Mip Louisa Redditt Greenberry Redditt Theophilus Redditt William R Redditt Sr. Nancy Caroline Williams Amy Caroline Williams Cora Dell Williams Tillman Gregory *-Documented in Augusta Ar James W King Ella F King Olivia King These are all family that lived as a community in Hardeman County TN, Tippah County MS, Shelby County TN and Woodruff County Ar. What i seem to be missing is tha names of family that lived in and around Jackson County that possibly would have adopted and raised many of the children of these families after many of the men did not return from the Civilwar. There is some speculation that after Roderick James Powell Shivers and his wife Nancy Caroline Williams both died rather tragically within 1 year after moving to Ark, the family sold the property and dispersed to other locations leaving behind the Gregory family which still flourishes in Augusta Ark. If you have any of these Surnames in your Jackson County Ark family information, I am in despirate need of this information. I am interested in any family diaries/bibles, known documents where land transfers may have occured between these families and possibly your families.

My Middlebrooks lived in Stanton Tenn. They later relocated to Arkansas around 1934.Uncle Sam now resides in Oh. I mentioned Sam but my interest is in his father John Middlebrooks, my grandfather Robert Middlebrooks. It has been very dfficult for me researching them because there are many Robert's and John's within the family.
