If you are interested in buying Census CD's, Census View is having a sale. Most are $14.95 with $3.00 for shipping. The URL for this is: http://www.galstar.com/~censusvu/fallspec.htm I am not connected with them but I have found that having these are handier than spending hours at the library.

Anyone out there have her in their family line? She was the first wife of William S. Muckleroy. Also looking for the family connection of James Edward Moore that wed Ethel Blasengame/Blasingame. James' dates are: 8-2-1887 to 10-27-1994 I am wondering if Pearl and James aren't related somehow.

This question was to me, but I am losing brain cells, could you please post this answer to the list so we will all know where to get these? have a cousin who lives in New Orleans who wants to know how he can get a copy of his great grandfather's Civil War record. His name was John Shewmake. He was the father of William Riley Shewmake. He says that he knows it is in Little Rock as someone saw it years ago. Can you get it by mail, or do I need to go to L.R. to get it for him.

Could someone tell me if Mountain Home Cemetery is in Lincoln County or Drew? Or does it have another name now. My grandparents J. R. and Chasteen Frazer Barrett are buried there according to their obits. I didn't find it in your list of cemeteries in Lincoln Co. Thank you, Murlene

James, I do not have a Matilda Brown listed in the Brown family, but then I do not know a lot about branches of the Ephraim Brown family. I will see if my Brown cousins might know. Thank you. Do you or any list members know if Lincoln County has the local newspaper in that library as far back as 1933? I badly need an obit for my grandmother, Catherine Bush. I know the death date must be between 1933 and 1935, suspect it is 1933. Thanks so much, Murlene

Help needed: Obits for two of my great uncles state that they were both born "near Petit Jean Mtn." but not exactly where. I've searched all around and in-between the rocks of Conway Co. and I can't seem to find *anything* on this Conrad family in the late 1800s. Does anyone have a clue as to another county that might border Petit Jean Mtn. or perhaps an idea of something that I'm missing? It's possible that the same person gave the same misleading birth information for both of my relatives but it's one of the few, elusive clues that I have to cling to. I have found Luvenia and Henry Clay Conrad (their newly married parents) in the 1880 Lincoln Co. census; the children surface again in Desha Co. after 1900 but not the parents. Thanks for all suggestions, Jo-Ann Stephens Bahai@netusa1.net Indiana researching in AR: Conrad, Cleaver, Chapman, Lee, Stephens, and Mahurin
