I have just subscribed to this list and would like to introduce myself. I am a 66 year old military retiree who was born, reared, and now lives at Mansfield which sits astride the Sebastian/Scott County line in west central Arkansas. I am relatively new to genealogy research with only a year or so experience. Therefore, I am still "feeling" my way around finding and exploring all these wonderful sites from which to learn more about ones ancestry and heritage. Thus far, I have made a lot of new friends and gotten to know many "cousins", all of whom have been very patient and generous in the sharing of their contacts and giving me access to their own information. I am very grateful for all of this and am eager to contribute in any way I can. Not only am I anxious to learn more about the ancestors of my family, I am also eager to meet family members still living. Specifically, I am looking for contacts interested in the following families: 1. Simpson (came to AR from AL) 2. Frizzell (came to AR from TN) 3. Harp (came to AR from TN) 4. Masingale (came to AR from TN) 5. Crittendens (came to AR from MS) 6. Kinard (came to AR from AL) 7. Barnes (Unsure) 8. Baum (came to AR from IL via way of OK & GA) Thanks: James Carrell Simpson
