I'm looking for info on Oliver NIX and wife, Mary Jane GIST {b. Mar 1878}. Her parents were Thomas and Sarah GIST, both of whom are buried in Prentiss Co., MS. Reva Bradford BRochevot@aol.com wrote: > I also have some NIX family that married into my FILES line. > > Billie

Deborah, I think I also have some NIX in my ROBINSON line? Kay Robinson Music

I also have some NIX family that married into my FILES line. Billie

James: Thanks for looking for me - I do appreciate your effort. I have posted a query that anyone with Swindle ancestors is welcome to contact me. The Swindle family was quite prolific and they like marrying into the Hood family, so I've accumulated quite a few names. Again, thank you. Billie

DON: I have very willingly shared my information with anyone who is interested - many times they never bothered to respond that they received it, much less share. I have also very willingly done numerous lookups in various books that I own. Yes, it's a lot of work. Yes, it's very expensive. HOWEVER, there are people who can't or don't know how to do it themselves. I for one am very willing to post any and all information that I have collected over the 25 years that I've been researching. If the list manager would like, I will also transcribe information I have gathered from census records, wills, land records, etc. Are you? Billie Rochevot

Hello, list! Since I joined this list, I have not seen an official roll call - I am wondering if we could do that so we can better help each other and ourselves? I've caught a few names that were familiar to me but would really like to assist and seek assistance on my Itawamba County lines! Listowner, would this be okay? Thanks in advance! Allison Massengill Saxman PS: If we do a roll call, I'll post details, but primary surnames are MASSENGILL/MASSENGALE, WRIGHT, AND COKER from Itawamba County (and a few more, too!) Thanks!

I couldn't find any of the individuals mentioned.

Marily, what Nix relatives do you have in the Itawamba area? I have some who married into my Robinson line. Would like to share information. Deborah Eaton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com/

Mary Ann, There is only one reference to Kelly and I could not find the name on that page. There is about six pages on Hopkins including pictures. They are apparently descedndantsd of Daniel Martin Hopkins and Della Chambers.

It is "Itawamba County, Mississippi Families (1836-1986) Sesquicentennial Edition". I made copies of the cover page and one page that included information on a line I discovered on that trip -- Fikes. The cover page states explicitly that only 513 copies were printed. I don't know if the library will allow it to be copied in full, but PERHAPS a local researcher would do lookups and mail copies for a fee????? Don, could you suggest a researcher? Someone earlier today mentioned reprints by Heritage Books. They have a web page, http://www.heritagebooks.com/ but doing a search for Itawamba did not get any hits. Another company that does superb quality reprints is Higginson Books -- http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ Higginson has several Mississippi books, but again, I didn't note any for Itawamba Co. I really like the layout of the Higginson site and they also have a large number of surname books, so some of you may want to check this out for your missing branches. Happy hunting. -- Diane Scannell Wichita, KS dscannell@kscable.com Rootsweb Sponsor and Proud Donor >> I wonder if there is a way we could get permission to do a reproduction of the book if the times doesn't want to do it. I think there would be enough intrest to see about finding another vendor to do the printing. Maybe we could pay the times for the rights to the book since they are not going to do another reproduction. Any ideas?? Brian

I'll have to do a little more digging on the subject. Brian

Since so many want a copy of this book it would be nice if it could be copied and sent through this site or as a download and we all could get copies. And do our own research. Wanda
