Addie Mae, I failed to respond to your earlier comments about Farmerville. Louis informs me that the town was named after a pioneer family by the name of Farmer, btw, and is the parish seat of Union Parish. I always thought it was called Farmerville because that's what the people around there did for a living - silly me! But to respond about the beautiful town of Farmerville - I actually went to school there - in a two story white clapboard schoolhouse - for one day! I was visiting my cousins, the Longs, and I got to go to school with their daughter Jeannette - we were both 10 at the time! BJ, In response to your comments to Louis earlier about Arelia indexing the courthouse records, I have talked to three people who knew Arelia well in the last two days, and unfortunately the index was in Arelia's head. She volunteered at the courthouse and helped people look things up, and several of us on this list owe her a big debt. But there was no indexing project, and the only papers she had pertained to her own family lines, which did not crossover with many of us, and which have been passed on to family members who will preserve them and share them with other genealogists who do have those lines. It's a nice idea though. I know a lady who was attempting to compile an index to the unindexed records of Franklin Co GA from microfilm of those records. This might be a good project for someone - either the microfilming or the indexing. Addie Mae, Boy! Was I sleepy last night when I got confused on the issue of Tressie Cook's "Cook-Heard and Allied Lines" and Harold Mullenax's book that Arelia mentioned to you. I'm going to try to track Harold and Helen down and see if they are alive and well in Tulsa, and find out just what we are talking about here - a real book, or their enormous collection of family group sheets on Tubbs, Heards, Copelands, and a bunch of others - and part of which I have. Anna, The list of burials you mentioned from Webster Cemetery. Is this from a copyrighted book, or is it something you did yourself that we could post on the Union Parish Archives page? Also the Shiloh list, Pisgah list, and especially the Shiloh History - if it's dated 1909 I know it's out of copyright. I would like so much to be able to put those on the archives page. If you want to communicate privately about this, my e-mail is [email protected] Mary Margaret, Thanks for the suggestion about getting the Cook-Heard book and the other Heard book through ILL. Tina, Thanks for admitting you actually live in Union Parish so the rest of us can bug you about doing stuff for us (joke!) Bill, Did you enjoy your nap? Thanks for the great url!!! Gina & Christie, May I highly recommend Christie's suggestion re: lunch. On another list I'm on, the one I mention worked so well because everybody reposts their lines about once a month for the new members, my cousin in Lubbock and I decided to meet each other half way for lunch and chat - it was a ball and we are now close friends That's all for this one, Karen
