Hello, I hope none of you suffered any damage from Hurricane Charley. It passed directly over me this afternoon and flooded much of the surrounding countryside for a while. Here is a list of the new material on the Union Parish Archives since the last update: #1 Photographs of the Towns family who lived in the Sadie area north of Marion, submitted by Linda Duke. #2 Succession Records transcribed & submitted by Shawn Martin: ++ 1860 succession of Joseph M. Heard (died 21 Dec 1859) ++ 1860 emancipation of Gabriel R. Plummer ++ 1860 Tutorship of minor heirs of J. S. J. Farrar #3 Photo of Alabama Landing on the Ouachita River, submitted by Bruce Odom #4 1930 census records - thanks to the efforts of Karen Mabry Rice & Mary Anne Williams, we now have indices to Wards 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 of the 1930 census! #5 1910 image improvements - have any of you ever tried to read the 1910 Union Parish census? It is often futile, both on microfilm or the old images we had on the archives. Thanks to the hard work of Karen Mabry Rice, we are slowly improving the images. The new versions are much, MUCH easier to read on your computer screen, even easier than the original microfilm. We are doing these a few at the time, so updating these will be a gradual process. #6 Union Parish Post Office Records - when you have a chance, take a look at the records of Union Parish post offices just posted. We have a post office map plus data on all the Union Parish post offices between 1838 and 1892, including all postmasters. This is a work in progress, and I'll add more soon. #7 Biography of Ellen Brazeal McLelland Ward (1804-1884) #8 Marriage announcement of Fletcher G. Wilson of Fort Worth to Miss Alice Honeycutt, daughter of Britton Honeycutt & Louisa Jane Gee of Farmerville, 1895.
