I am looking for any information for Whit Hampton, Ciller Burgess, Joseph Burgess, Anderson Burgess, Mckinley Burgess, Minnie Burgess, Mary Lee Burgess, Mary E. Burgess, Fred Sheard, Steve Sheard, Jessie Bolden, Bertha Bolden. Whit Hampton lived in Pike County and Bullock County, Alabama. He may have also lived in Yazoo City in 1900. My father's name was Mathew (Mathis) Hampton he was born (1913-1916) in Itta Bena, Mississippi I have searched for 8 years but have never found his name listed on a census record; not even the 1930 census. My grandmother's name was Ciller Burgess and I found her on one census record in 1900 (age 14) living with her parents, Joseph and Frances in Woodville, Mississippi. I do not know where they moved to but believed they lived in Midnight, Mississippi, possibly, Greenwood, Shaw, Belzoni, Sunflower, Holly Bluff Mississippi. My grandmother, Ciller died in 1948 in Yazoo City, but I was not able! to get a death certificate. McKinley Burgess died in 1971 and was living in Midnight, Mississippi.

HI: Isn't this a paid Web site? Every page I'm looking at on www.lexisnexis.com solicits subscriptions. Kberry

Hello All, Regarding the microfilm records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations. The link below provides a downloadable guide of the complete microfilm collection. This is a large microfilm collection that contains Series A-N for all Southern states. For Mississippi you want to review the guide for Series G, Part 5 containing the Natchez area Slave & Slavery collections and also Series N for selections from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. Click here: Southern History http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic/guides/Ash/default.asp Best Regards, Joyce

Jean Copper has published A Genealogical Index to the Guides of the Microfilm Edition of Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations from the Revolution Through the Civil War ISBN: 14140-0666-7 Publisher: Authorhouse Publish Date: October, 2003 It has surname, plantation name, and county indexes to all of these films. It must have been an enormous undertaking but it is very thorough. Best! Toni

Thank you

I received that message also, so I keyed in the main url http://www.lexisnexis.com and found the subpages: academic - guides - southern_hist - plantations. That worked for me.

I could not find anything about MS Plantations. Pat

I found it interesting that there is a source for plantation records. However, the link to lexisnexis does not give access to the 'virtual directory' . It would be wonderful to check the names in our family. Bettye W. Harwell

Yes, Thanks for the good info. V/R
