Out of all of these HOOD requests, does anyone of you HOOD researchers have a SWINDLE in the pile? Billie

By chance, is there any information in that book about the SWINDLE family? Thanks. Billie

Yes back to square one. I have talked to a few people who live there and some checking is being done. Currently no copies or out there.... Newspaper had only done the one printing and that was it.... Don

I normally do not have a lot of spare time, but would be willing to check the annual indexes on a "time available" basis if you want to send me your surnames OFF THE LIST. IF I find anything of value to you that could be shared with the other listers, then you could post and share it, but there is no point in flooding the Rootsweb list archives with lookup requests. With regard to census and marriage records, your local library can get an interlibrary loan of microfilm of the census and also a roll of the Index to Early Mississippi marriages from AGLL or Heritage Quest. That is how I found my grandparents marriage data. Then a letter to the court house with the Book and Page is all it takes. There is also a book called "Cemetery Inscriptions in Itawamba County, Mississippi". The nearest copy to me is in a library in Ponca City, OK. It is a huge book and very nicely done. I don't have any info on Lee County to share.

Hi Listers, Some years ago I was in Fulton, MS doing some research on my Dozier/Dodson/ Cooley lines and the public library had a copy of what I THINK is the book you are discussing. 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 http://sikes-sykesfamilies.rootsweb.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~inthetrees/

In a 1981 issue of the Itawamba Settlers, there was a page listing available books on Itawamba Co. MS. Could have been more recent listings, but I just found out about the "Settlers" magazine 3 months ago, and the nearest large library only has issues from the early 80's. Are any of these books still available, and where could a person find these types of books? Anything else been published about the county? 1. "1860 census of Itawamba Co." 2. "Marriage Records of Itawamba Co. MS 1837-1866" 3. "Cemetery Markings Itawamba Co., MS" 4. "Lee Co., MS Cemeteries" Deborah (Johnson) Maston

Does anyone have information on a Cuffie Eugene Ferguson, b.1854. Lived in Itawamba?

Sandy, she married a William Hood in 1875 I have a list of their children.

Hi, I wonder why they wouldn't print the book with so many requests being made? Anyway, I receive a flyer periodically that sells books like this one. They also ask for material that they can print and sell. It is called Heritage Times or Heritage Something or Other. I can't remember the name but maybe some of you receive it too. Perhaps someone could suggest the Itawamba Family History be printed. I feel pretty confident that they would if they could get a copy of the material. Just a thought.
