They are the AREA mailing list and website, taking in counties surrounding Oregon Co., MO and Randolph Co., AR including Shannon, Carter, Howell, Ripley, and Oregon in MO; and Sharp, Lawrence, Fulton, Randolph and Izard in AR.  We have lots of friendly, knowledgeable people with the sources for all of the surrounding area, ready and willing to help, should you find the need for lookups in those counties. You'll probably hit on some new cousins on the mailing list!! Because families crossed over all the time, we seem to be cousins everywhere we t urn. It was obvious that the need for this list was apparent for serious researchers reseaching this area of the country.
