Hi Sherry, Dr. Max Williams is not currently on the mailing list. He now lives in Mexico, but returns to Louisiana for visits periodically. I agree about Shorty (Arelia) Breed. Although she was a transplanted Yankee, her deep interest in the early history and genealogy of Union Parish was amazing. She was one of my very best friends, and I also miss her greatly.

Hello Union Parish, I just sent an e-mail to someone in which I praised Arelia Breed and all she did for us. She sent me so many hand-written notes over the years as she ran into new info in all those scrambled up papers at the courthouse. I would not know what I know today about the Grays and Tubbs and Porters and Nobles without her help and when I was visiting in Bernice her door was always open to me so we could exchange and share. She was a great friend and I miss her greatly too.

Our trip to Union Parish turned out to be a pleasure. The countryside is simply beautiful. The people at the courthouse and library were very helpful. Old documents at the courthouse are even kept in "sleeves" for safekeeping. Sandra Van Wyk

looking for cemetery records on a w.r.(WILLIAM)jenkins white male born 12-22-1895, drew co. arkansas to w.r.(bob) and emily herring jenkins no death date thank you

anyone having cemetery records for a w.(.William)white male born 12-22-1895, bradley or drew co. arkansas. no death date

Also, the J & W Cemetery books contain many errors.

SueLyn is right. I just didn't think Mary Anne knew about the surveys and I was trying to save her some work. I think it is great to have the cemeteries online.

I also appreciate everything she does for researches. I don't think Fred meant anything other than they had been surveyed already. This is true, but we have to remember new folks have been buried there with their ancestors and without people like Mary Anne to update them, we would have to travel miles and miles to see who and how many have been added. Thanks Mary Anne and Fred, keep asking questions. That is the only way we will find out the answers.

Fred, All of those books have been available for years, but they are copyrighted and being sold for a profit - and thus, not available to put online for free research. Our only alternative has been to do new surveys, which is not a bad idea - some of those surveys were done 40 years ago, and a few ppl have died since then. Mary Anne is a Union Parish resident who has been gracious enough to slog around in mud, heat, rain, and mosquitos (we won't talk about the snakes - a-a-a-agh!!) to bring us new, fresh, and completely copyright free surveys so they can be put on line to be accessed free!

Hello! To those AOL subscribers on our Union Parish mailing list, you probably missed several messages to this list. AOL was blocking all roobsweb messages for a while over the weekend, but I think that AOL has fixed the problem now. If you are interested in the messages that you may have missed, go here: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/LAUNION/2004-12 This is the final 2004 update to the Union Parish Archives. I still have photographs to load from Marc Hollingsworth and Lyle Smith, and I will try to get those finished early next year. Here are the new items since last week's update: 1) 1910 Census images are completed, thanks to Karen Mabry Rice. The original images on the archives were too small to read properly.

Both the alphabetical and normal listings are updated: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/union/cemeteries.htm 3) Tombstone photographs from the following cemeteries from Bruce Odom: a) Zion Hill Cemetery http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/la/union/cemetery/zion-hill.html b) Alabama-Weldon Cemetery http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/la/union/cemetery/alabama-weldon.html c) Concord Cemetery http://ftp.rootsweb.com/%7Eusgenweb/la/union/photos/cemetery.htm d) Farmerville Cemetery http://ftp.rootsweb.com/%7Eusgenweb/la/union/photos/cemetery.htm 4) 1895 Spearsville Death Notices: a) six year old son of W.

Thanks for everyone's hard work. It is appreciated even if some of us sit back and use your labors but forget to say thank you. Pat T.

Searching for information on the Carroll community or Post Office in Western Union Parish. I saw it on the maps on the website. I am researching Carrolls and was hoping that someone might have something on it. Mary Anne Carroll Williams --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I join Tim in thanking all those who have contributed, but I'd also like to thank Tim. I know most of you have visited archives in other states as you research, and I think you might agree that Tim has turned Union Parish into - if not THE best (my opinion) - certainly one of the top archive sites on the web!!
