Have you all had this happen, makes you wonder,,, 1) Thou shalt name your male children: James, John, Joseph, Josiah, Abel, Richard, Thomas, William (2) Thou shalt name your female children: Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Maria, Sarah, Ida, Virginia, May, Ann (3) Thou shalt leave NO trace of your female children. (4) Thou shalt, after naming your children from the above lists, call them by strange nicknames such as: Ike, Eli, Polly, Dolly, and Sukey.---making them difficult to trace. (5) Thou shalt NOT use any middle names on any legal documents or census reports, and only where necessary, you may use only initials on legal documents. (6) Thou shalt learn to sign all documents illegibly so that your surname can be spelled, or misspelled, in various ways: Hicks, Hicks, Hix, Hixe, Hucks, Kicks (7) Thou shalt, after no more then 3 generations, make sure that all family records are lost, misplaced, burned in a fire, or buried so that NO future trace of them can be found. (8) Thou shalt propagate misleading legends, rumors and vague innuendo regarding your place of origin. (A) you may have come from : England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales....or Iran. (B) you may have American Indian ancestry of the______tribe. (C) You may have descended from one of three brothers that came over from_____. (9) Thou shalt leave NO cemetery records, or headstones with legible names. (10)Thou shalt leave NO family Bible with records of birth, marriages, or deaths. (11)Thou shalt ALWAYS flip thy name around. If born James Albert, thou must make all the rest of thy records in the names of Albert, AJ, JA, AL, Bert, Bart, or Alfred. (12)Thou must also flip thy parent's names when making reference to them, although "Unknown" or a blank line is an acceptable alternative. (13)Thou shalt name at least 5 generations of males, and dozens of their cousins with identical names in order to totally confuse researchers. God Bless Lynda

I made a mistake the Family History Library is on http://www.FamilySearch.org - not .com. Sorry, Carole _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Marti, are the wills that you indexed the same ones that are on microfilm at the Family History Library (FHL)in Salt Lake City? This particular film is titled "Wills, 1832-1921", vol. AAA 1832-1870 and Vol. A 1884-1921, film # 1639254 Items 1 & 2. The reference (not contents of film) can be found online at www.FamilySearch.com and the film can be ordered to be sent to a Family History Center to view. Whatever index you made would be a great help to all of us. I live in Utah and get to Copiah Co. about every 5 years, so I would appreciate any information about any records in the courthouse that are not filmed and found in the FHL. Lynda, good luck on your eye surgery. We all appreciate your hard work.

Indexes are not on line - I left the loose will index in the Copiah Chancery Clerk's Office, and I know it was there for a long time. Several people mentioned using it. The other one was an old (and odd)land book that I found there and did the index for my personal information. If I can find it in my files, I would be willing to share data. I've moved twice since then. Lynda - Let me know when and what to do.

I would also like to volunteer. My school year ends June 12th and I could work on it full time after that. Marti - Are these indexes that you mentioned available on-line? I live in the Chicago suburbs and have not been able to visit Copiah Co. but I would love to find wills for my Ainsworth and Ellis families who were among the early settlers.
