Hi Everyone, The new Madison County GaGenWeb pages are now online. All the same stuff is there, just in a different layout -- plus a couple of new things. Take a minute to explore and get your bearings: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gamadiso/ Also... this mail list will soon be "gatewayed" to the Madison County Message Board at Rootsweb. That means that when someone strolls into the message board and posts a query, their message will be sent through the list where you can read it in the comfort of your own mailbox. While working on these pages, I've been reminded of what a great bunch of people we have on this list! So many of you have contributed such great stuff to the archives and you have made Madison County a gold mine of online info! Give yourselves a pat on the back! Jeanne Arguelles ejarguelles@msn.com

Hi All, I will be creating a new Surname list for the Madison County GaGenWeb Page.

Please email me directly at ejarguelles@msn.com so as not to bombard the list with a ton of mail. (Everyone will be able to view your surnames when the list is online). Also, if you have a website that includes info on Madison County families, and would like a link included on the Madison Co GaGenWeb site, please send me the URL, the title of the page, and the main Madison Co surnames that appear on your page. The new pages will be up soon! I'll let you know when they're ready! Thanks! Jeanne Arguelles ejarguelles@msn.com

I have a copy of some of the elders sessions from New Hope Presbyterian Church in Madison Co. It does have a list of members, some baptismals and some marriages. The dates are 1838 to about 1860.
