    1. [MSNOXUBE] Index to deeds

    3. Doris and anyone else interested in deeds, If you look at the list I sent, you will notice the first two entries say general index. My approach when doing deeds is to send for the index that applies to the surnames I am researching, then only order those rolls of film that are identified in the index. The film can be ordered though your local Family History Center, from the Library in Salt Lake City. I think it is $3.80 per roll and you can keep them for 3 weeks. For those of you who are new to the resources of the Family History Library, I suggest you visit their website at www.familysearch.com. Click on .Library and then . Catalog. My advice is to get very familiar with this tool. There are four copies of the Library catlalog, the one online, the one on CD, the one in the Family History Centers, and the one on the inhouse computers at the library. I just checked the online catalog, and it did not have any deeds after 1886 listed for Kemper County. Now, I know from my find in May at the library, that there are microfilms of deeds after 1886, and those films are kept in the VAULT. I make the assumption that the same applies to later films for Noxubee County. I think the e-mail address is fhl@ldschurch.org. Try that and ask them about the later deed books, and what is available for Noxubee County, and what might be in the VAULT. You can request vault films at a FHC, I have done it. They might question whether the film will be sent, but make them do it for just one film to test. For the last two days, when trying to get to Noxubee and Kemper Counties to the Land and Property, my browser died several times. I have never had this happen before, and I am a heavy user of the library catalog. I do not know if it is their problem or mine, but be warned. Good Luck, Marleen
