Hello All. I just subscribed and I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Patti Pullen and I am researching my father-in-law's family in Attala County. The surnames I am researching (to get started) include: * Pullin (or Pullen or Pulling) [this is my primary right now] * Patterson * Bailey, and * Long My FIL was born/raised in Attala County (areas that he's referred to are Kosciusko and French Camp). And he graduated from Central HS in Jackson in 1954. I've been able to track back through census records - on the Pullin side of the tree - to Henry O. Pulling. He was not listed on the 1840, 1850, or 1870 census - however his wife (?) Emily is on the 1850 and 1870 census. (Both are on the 1860 census.) I've never been to Attala County (I live in Northern Virginia). I'd appreciate any tips that you all can provide! Thanks, Patti Pullen
