Hi Edye, I don't know which BELLs you are looking for or the time frame. However, I know there were several BELLs in Oktibbeha Co. MS from as early as about 1830-1840. They were from SC. Good luck.

Debra: The earliest marriage records for Oktibbeha Co. begin APRIL 3, 1861. Of course this is due to a courthouse fire......Peggy

Hi Debra and All List Members, I have just joined this list. I am very interested in your lookup, Debra. I was in Oktibbeha Co. MS recently to do research. I was told at the Courthouse that they have no marriage records prior to 1881? Since I was there for a very short time (from Michigan), I did not take the time to look for something that I was told was not available. Where did you find these early marriage records? Could I ask you to please do a lookup for me? My WISEMANs were in Oktibbeha Co. MS from about 1833 to about 1852. Any WISEMAN marriage record you might find in that time frame would definitely be one of mine. I would greatly appreciate your help with this. Thank you very much for any assistance you can give.

Mary, I have the same problem with the date of death of my brother. SS has him living 15 days longer than he did. I sent them a copy of the death certificate, a copy of the obiturary and funeral program. I was his legal guardina...I was with him when he drew his last and know what I say. That was in 1994. I have been trying to get this corrected ever since. And yes, this is neglience a nd error on the part of an uncaring employee, drawing good pay and benefits. However, it would take an act of congress to have them removed from their position. Former government employee. B. Wright B.

Ken, As a result of a virus in June I lost all my email addresses. This horrible virus was called a "worm" and completely destroyed my computer including the hard drive. Had to buy a new system. I seem to remember there was someone searching for SAVAGE surname in either Calhoun or Webster Co., MS. I stumbled across the following abstracts in Pittsboro Courthouse, Calhoun Co. (Old Deed Book, p 270) which I hope will help them. 5 Nov 1860: J. R. Savage, J. F. Savage, W. P. Savage, P. Savage & S. S. Eiland to J. H. Savage, no acres stated, SW1/4 Sec 9, T12, R2W. This was not recorded until 1 Jan 1872. 20 Dec 1871: J. H. Savage to T. Goodwin, described as above, recorded 13 March 1872. Martha

By sending copies of the birth information in a family's records this would in no way be a bad thing. You must be an attorney or politician to come up with that. I see no reason why, IFa judge has to rule on it (now, think about it----THAT'S ridiculous--------would you want a judge ruling over birth & Bible records on YOUR birth information? Would your mother appreciate knowing that her mother-in-law was on print as being your mother?----Shades of incest!!!) presenting those records and a notarized request for correction should be more than enough. Do you know the meaning of the word "politician"? Poli (poly-----many). Ticks (blood sucking parasites). Put them together and you'll see why most of us believe that lawyers, politicians, government agencies are the root of all evil and the cause of more problems and complications than they solve. Common sense has been put on the shelf. If the state legislature wrote such crap into being they are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. There should be a simple and free (or very low cost) way to accomplish this.

I personally don't see any harm in a Roll Call, and you will not be banned from any list I admin for contributing to one. I admin several lists, and read many more, and find the Roll Call to be pretty much accepted on all of them. It is a way to "advertise" your Surnames of interest. Yes, the more information you give the better it is, as someone suggested. It would also be considerate to concentrate some efforts on the Subject line - giving dates and places where known. For instance, If Bobbye had listed his/her surnames, which included Nelson and Gressett without a place, I would likely have just scanned the mail and deleted it. But, since the county of Newton was mentioned, I have to now ask her/him how they got that mix of surnames and missed Hollingsworth. Got to be one there someplace. ;-) We'll have to explore that possibility, eh Bobbye? The Roll Call, as I said, is a useful tool to advertise your surnames. It certainly makes as much or more sence as the recent thread on SS-5 charges. That thread actually made sence for the first two or three emails, but became argumentative after that. You just can't have a discussion among 550 +/- people about something that is political in nature, and not expect some arguments for and against whatever you are discussing. This is the beauty of being an American, isn't it? That we have the right to believe whatever we want, and more importantly, the right to express our oppinions publicly. Don't get me started on patriotism. ;-) Most importantly - just have fun with this, and try your best to help one another. If you think about it, this Genealogy Community, as they call it, is quite unique, in that we all participate to some degree, hoping to find some bits of information, and gladly 'give' information to help someone else. Something I've noticed, is what I call the "Hit and Run" folks. I get email when someone subscribes, and also when they un-sub from this (or any list I admin). There are a couple of people that will subscribe, post a query, and un-sub, never to read the messages that answer the query. I guess this method would fall to the category of "different strokes....", eh? Just have fun, and be courteous, and considerate to all of your listpartners, as you would expect them to be to you. Doing that will assure you more feedback on your queries. And, don't forget the (now) Ancestry Message Boards. They are full of information, and are becoming more user-friendly all the time. They weren't to start with, but are continually being improved. If you have problems with them, send me an email and I'll either answer your questions, or direct you to where you'll find it.

I have been watching the messages about the injustice of SS fees. Think about this one. My grandfather died in 1945. Several years ago I ordered a copy of his death certificate and found that my own father had given the information and that, for some strange reason, had listed as Grandpa's mother's name the name of his grandmother. I have checked with the Vital Statistics in Jackson several times, with several attorneys, and all agree that I would have to hire a specific type of lawyer, wait until the "case" goes to court to present my "evidence" and pay a huge fee to accomplish the simple matter of correcting incorrect information. Meanwhile, anyone searching for genealogical information would find incorrect, misleading information that I have long tried to have corrected. How's that for injustice? I don't have the kind of money to waste when a simple matter of correcting information on a form (I can see having it notarized and paying for that) should be free and easy to do. How's that for trying to change the subject? Mary Lander

Calling for a Roll Call is one of the quickest ways to get you banned from most Lists - maybe not this one, because Ken is a good guy... Roll Calls serve no benefit except get everyone to send messages to everyone else...not to mention hundreds, no thousands, of Deletes... In addition, they take up VALUABLE space on Rootsweb's archive servers...Do you know that every messages which is sent to the List is archived under the Subject? So, a message with the Subject "Mississippi Roll Call" will be filed with all the other Mississippi messages for people to access at some later date...Now imagine 500,000 messages with the Subject "Roll Call" and tell me how many folks will ever look at your message, seeing they have to wade thru 499,999 to find yours? A much better way to get your message out is to send a question to the list, asking for specific individuals, or Surnames, and put a meaningful Subject line with the Surname of that individual. Genealogy is a slow science...It may take years, indeed eons, before you find that elusive answer...with the advent of the Internet, things have speeded up, but it is still slow...We live in a day of fast cars, fast living, everything Fast, and we are impatient when it is SLOW. We want instant gratification, but it does not always come...so as good genealogists, we must press on, and on, until the answer arrives...but don't expect a Roll Call to provide your saving grace... I support Rootsweb, and don't want their assets wasted... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
