Jim: Your suggestion is a good one and it will be added to the list of options. However, most of the cemeterys are on land provieded by local churches, and many do not keep any cemetery records. If we can create the tombstone photo website "inhouse", it will be easy to add all the suggested options provided we have enought memeory space. The records of one of the local funeral homes should be online and/or "ready for lookup requests' by the end of this year. I have "been there and done" by being "up to my ears" by wearing [too] many hats/titles at one time. The Civil war "Battle of Iuka" is one part of the great Heritage of the town of Iuka and Tishomingo County, MS. So, a reunion for all descendents of any Rebel or Yankee soldier assigned to any miltary unit involved in the battle on Sept. 19, 1862 will be added to the Iuka Heritage Festival this year. This is your invitation to join the other decendants on Sept 11, 2004, for a reception in your honor at the old Court House in Iuka. The reception will start at 4 pm with a candle light service will start at 6 pm. The candle light service could be delayed untill "dark of night" arrives. Advance registeration plans will be announced soon.
