Posted on: Lafayette Co MS Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Lafayette/11201 Surname: Holleman, McNeil, Kimble, Lawhorn, Guy ------------------------- Edna, it is your cousin Betty. I found you on the Internet and since I did not have an e-mail address for you until now, I decided to send you a message. I finally got a new computer and have been surfing the net (as is everyone else). I hope to get to Stephenville this summer. I have had a lot going on the past two years. I moved back to Oklahoma and am now closer to Texas. I visited Lafayette County, Mississippi again last year and revisited the old Holleman Cemetery on private property. It is hard to get to, but there is a man who lives nearby who will help you access the property. Have you found anything new and exciting about the Hollemans? I have just gotten back into my research. Hope all are well. Stay in touch.

With much regret and a heavy heart I must give up the Lafayette Co MSGenWeb site, this list, and GenConnect boards. Circumstances beyond my control have forced me to cut down on my volunteer activities in certain projects and MSGenWeb is one of them. You are, however, in good hands. Bill Ward has graciously taken Lafayette Co back and will be the new CC, ListAdmin and GenConnect Coordinator. I adopted Lafayette Co from Bill about 3 years ago and I know that Bill will do a fine job. I will still be around for a while to assit Bill in the transition.
