This is the address for the Tupelo paper. http://www.djournal.com/djournal/site/

Can someone please tell me if the Itawamba Co. newspaper is available on-line? I need to look up an obituary on Max GRADY. I would really appreciate it, if you could send it to me. Thank you, Kay Music

Beryl - I must say that I understand what you are saying - Let me simply point out that in my experience, theories constructed from secondary sources have been a tremendous help to me in locating documentation. I have, in fact documented a significant portion of my research by using this method. If the theory turns out to be someone's dream, then I will be able to document that it is only a dream and not worthy to include in a family genealogy!

to Pete Apple, There were two items that you mentioned in your post on the Itawamba County list that caught my attention. Please don't take this the wrong way...but... in doing research in genealogy I personally have run across many published family trees and lineages that are really amazing...they stretch a particular family back to Adam or at least Noah before the Ark. Upon closer inspection, it appears that the "genealogist" was pulling wishes and dreams together, rather than facts in the hopes of getting his or her line back as far as possible. Why do people feel that this is the only goal of family research? It baffles me. I personally do not put much faith or trust in these "family histories" and really feel they do more harm than good. The harm is when, in a rush to prove these fantastical theories..others are led down a long and winding path of lies. Research should not be a bunch of internet short cuts. The best approach is to start with oneself, work backwards, carefully, and write down only facts. I've been on a Scottish genealogy list for a while now, and squirm every time I see a new researcher, eager to find a lost Scottish king, with requisite clan kilt, coat of armor and the like. In truth, most from the area being researched were the poorest of the poor coal miners and the like and would laugh in their graves to see their ancestors "constructing" such regal histories for them. Anyway, I hope I don't sound too cynical. It really is best to determine the truth, be proud of it, and forget the fantasies, unless they too are really the truth. Please don't "construct" family histories...research them. -Beryl Reid

Since I first asked my quesion about Nancy P. Jackson who Married James Calvin Gilstrap, I have put together, from Secondary Sources, the following: 1 Thomas Jackson b: Abt. 1690 2 Isaac Jackson b: 1733 d: 1805 in Hancock, Georgia ... +Mary ______? 3 [1] Enoch Jackson b: in Hancock County, Georgia .... +[2] Nancy Moore b: 1770 d: November 1851 in Pontotoc Co., Ms. . 4 [3] Henry Jackson b: 1798 in Hancock County, Georgia d: 1844 ..... +[4] Mary ______? b: 1802 in Georgia d: 1853 .. 5 [5] Nancy P. Jackson b: October 28, 1830 in Georgia d: 1908 I have also found a book on www.genealogylibrary.com Genealogy of Wilkinson and Kindred Families which appears to connect the above Isaac Jackson, who appears to have been a Lt. Col. in the Revolutionary War, to William the Conqueror. Some of the dates do not quite match - but seem close enough - which along with places of birth - makes it look like a connection. Any thoughts on this connection would be appreciated. I like to construct my theory of a lineage and then set about proving it. If anyone has documentation on the Jacksons above, please contact me at pete@trip.net Pete Apple

I have the following Jackson family in my extended family. I do not know anything of the parents of General Milton Jackson. Could he be related to your line? Yes, General is his first name.

George - Did you know that the National Archives microfilms of the units have, at the beginning of the film, the history of the unit. I have information about the 42nd, I believe, at home - we are on vacation and I can check if you would like. The unit in which my husband's great-grandfather and his brother, were also at Gettysburg - they were both wounded, and a third brother who had enlisted in Tippah County was killed. Perhaps the NA microfilm might be available closer than Washington.

Georgie: Thanks for the reply. My interest in the name Manley comes from my FILES family. Several generations back my John Files married Mary Catherine Manley and the name Manley/Manly has been used in several generations after that by almost every one of their children. It's an odd first name, so I was just wondering. Billie

Jim, thanks so much for the information. I have checked out the site and found the info I was looking for!

Billie, I am unsure about the use of the middle name Manly. The family moved to MS from the border of Nash and Johnston Co. NC where I have seen the name of Manly O'Neal - a family connected to the Stricklands. But I have not seen any connection to the surname of Manly/Manley. Sorry! But thanks for contacting me. georgie ----- Original Message ----- From: <BRochevot@aol.com> To: <MSITAWAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 5:55 PM Subject: Re: [MSITAWAM-L] 42nd MS Infantry > Georgie: > > Do you by chance know how the family happened to use the middle name of Manly? > > Billie >

Georgie: Do you by chance know how the family happened to use the middle name of Manly? Billie
