However, I will see if I can call her to clarify the information for you. The Pemiscot County Marriage Records for 1898-1922 are now available online at: rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/pemiscot/pemiscot.htm. I looked at Books 7-8 and found where a A.L. Hall, J.P. performed several marriages from 1913 through 5/13/1917. The last entry I saw was Tom Halford to Bertha Ray on 5/13/1917. If you log onto this site, click on Book-7-8, then use the bottom right side arrow to scroll across to the data about who performed the ceremony. The page is too wide for it to fit on the screen.

There used to be a Alice Welch that I believe is supposed to have worked there from time to time. She was married to Grover Lee Welch whose mother was Mary Katherine Hall Welch. Mary Katherine Hall was the daughter of Albert Hall and Mary Alice Reddick/Riddick Hall. She may be able to clarify this. Maybe Albert's name was John and she might know if They are both buried at Coleman Cemetary and might have information on the Whittington Cemetary in which Jefferson Welch is supposed to be buried. I believe that all the headstones from that cemetary were taken down and moved somewhere but do not know for sure. I believe the Farm on which they were supposed to be buried at belong to a Kelly Joe Rhodes. I guess they needed more space to plant crops. Thank you very much and God Bless! Michael Parks

Hi Group, I just got this in on my Warrick County mailing list & thought ya'll might be interested. It will be a terrific resource! Marsha Bryant County Coordinator of these US GenWebs: Bibb, AL Neshoba & Kemper, MS Pemiscot, MO (co-coordinator) Warrick, IN - (co-coordinator of Warrick Gen Web & coordinator of Marsha's Warrick Web) >50 Million Historical Documents Hit Web By EUN-KYUNG KIM .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Researchers, genealogists and the plain curious can now use the Internet to check more than 50 million historical records at the National Archives, from Civil War battles to family immigration files. Before the system became available, people had to either visit the Archives and spend hours combing through documents or request the files by phone and pay to have them mailed. ``Now, people can pull these electronic records at their own convenience,'' said Michael Carlson, electronic and special media records director for the archives. ``It's totally self-service from your desktop.'' The records available on the database system represent a small fraction of the archive's electronic holdings. They were selected because of their analytical and statistical nature - most deal with information that easily can be looked up based on specific names, dates, organizations, cities or states. For instance, someone wanting to research a great-grandfather who immigrated to the United States in the 19th century can choose the series of records listed under ``immigrants,'' enter the relative's name and learn on what ship he traveled, the occupation he claimed prior to leaving, the date he arrived in New York, and the country from which he left, among other details. ``It can be another stop in creating your family tree and understanding what happened and when,'' said Michael Kurtz, assistant archivist for records services. Carlson said he expects the service will be popular with veterans in particular because of all the information related to military action, casualties and POWs. The records in the new system ``aren't a revelation in information, but is it helpful? Absolutely,'' said American Legion spokesman John Peterson after checking out the Web site. ``A lot of people active with the POW/MIA issue complain the government doesn't release enough documents about people who are still missing, so almost anything they give out is good in our eyes,'' he said. Kristine Minami, a spokeswoman for the Japanese American Citizens League, said getting easy access to government records will provide ``a lot of validation'' to Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The database draws from the records of 20 federal agencies. Most of the information was created by the agencies to suit their own program needs, without any thought to its historical significance. Because of that, some records have typographical errors like misspelled names or an inaccurate dates. National Archives officials did not correct any of the information to preserve the records' integrity. Shirley Langdon Wilcox, former president of the National Genealogical Society, called the new system an ``extremely useful and exciting'' tool. ``This certainly gives you enough of an idea of what might be available to you so you know what to weed out before taking a trip somewhere,'' she said. ``Anytime you have a tool that can make yourself better prepared before you go to the Archives or library, it's worthwhile. You don't end up wasting an hour or two looking at whether they have something, because you've done your homework.

Hi A large source of leads to family-history data is now on line. It is comprised of the Tables of Contents of the first 22 volumes of the Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal, 1981-2002+. Importantly, below the Tables of Contents, is an index. Reviewers find the whole page easily navigated despite the great amount of data included. A few of the key words with which to search the index are county names, directions (east, south, north, west), and family surnames (for Bible records). Use your browsers search function. When you find interesting leads on the web page, you will probably want to see actual copies of the Journal. Many libraries subscribe to the Journal. There is also information, below the index on the web page, on how to obtain copies of articles or issues. One can get an idea as to the length of an article in the Journal by noting the page numbers where it begins and where the following article begins. However, some articles are serialized over two to four issues. The URL is <http://www.rollanet.org/~bdoerr/contents.htm>http://www.rollanet.org/~bdoerr/contents.htm >

My husbands grandmother, Ruby Jones Gilliam, wrote some notes about persons she was related to, or lived with while in Hayti, Missouri. She was born at a construction site, in a cleared wooded area in Pemiscot County, Missouri in 1903, along with a twin brother Dewey. He died at eight months of age and their mother, Arabella Sanford Jones, four months later. Ruby Naomi Jones lived with a foster family who lived next door to her Uncle ? Ben Jones. The family was that of John Gaskins. There is a drawing of a layout of Hayti and where a few businesses were located. She mentions a few of the people and "interesting" things that happened there up to about 1915. It is handwritten, about 25 pages with no index. I can write an article a day or so to mention what is in this recollection of Hayti. It doesn't much cover genealogies, just recollections of Hayti and SOME people. Does anyone know of a John Gaskins who had a daughter named Wilhemina in about 1905/6 in Hayti. This family lived next door to Dr. Ben Jones, a country doctor. Thanks, Bonnie
