Hello folks, My name is Pam Gibbs and I have taken over the MSGenWeb Pontotoc County Website from the capable hands of Barb Ceverny. The purpose of this e-mail is to tell you a bit about myself (hoping you will be patient with me). I live with my husband and two of my three children in Hattiesburg, MS, which is in the southeast part of the state. Pontotoc is a 4 to 5 hour drive. We are fully into the high school track season now--I cannot tell you how much fun it is to drive two hours, wait two more, and see my daughter run for less than a minute, and then drive home. I am also a band parent with a trumpet player and a color guard member, so we juggle that for most of the summer and fall. Jazz band cranks up in spring and this is my son's first year in that. I have grown accustomed to trying to be two or three places at once! I hope to make some minor changes to the website(such as getting my e-mail address posted there for you to use)in the next couple of weeks, and hope to do some site revisions and add some new material over the Summer. I need your help. If you have Pontotoc County material that you can donate please let me know. You don't have to know html or anything- I can do that if you can just get the information to me. My husband's mother Frances Bramlett married James Gibbs from Alcorn County, MS. Her family also includes the Gregory, Bishop, and Rhodes surnames, and they originally settled around Van Vleet in Chickasaw County and also near Houlka. The Bramletts settled at Springville in Pontotoc County. We still have family there and try to visit as often as we can. I had no idea this list was so large. We ought to be the most successful genealogy research group on the net with so many people participating! Thank you so much to Colleen for taking over the maintenance of such a large list! Her energy is contagious, and I am excited about taking over the website. I hope you all catch some of the excitement too! Pam Gibbs http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gpakt
