My husband and I were in Pontotoc County earlier in the month of April and we searched in the court houses of Pontotoc County and Calhoun County and they were very friendly. We then went to the Pontotoc County Library and that was very interesting. We were there on Thursday and Friday. Wish I had longer to search in the library. I understood that the census could be viewed on film, but didn't have time to do all that I wished to do. Did find out some info, tho. I look forward to going back someday. My family line is Rodgers and Sanders. In the library, be sure to check out the volumes of Early Pioneers of Pontotoc County. That may not be the exact name, but something like that. I am sure others could tell us more, but that is my enjoyable experience. Ludean p.s. My husband's family that I know of are in the southern part of Arkansas. I think they came from Oklahoma to Arkansas.
