If so, most of the centers now > have a subscription to Ancestry.com Yes, I am close to a relatively small LDS family history center and I do have a subscription to Ancestry.com. I am also about 45 minutes away from the Wilkinson County & Amite courthouses. And, about 20 minutes from the Adams County Courthouse. And, although the above "tools" are VERY useful--I have learned the hard way--sometimes you just need researchers or relatives from Wilkinson County to set you straight and on the right path. That's the reason I made the inquiry to the List. My original question was concerning James William "Willie" Ashley, Jr. b. Dec. 22, 1909, d. April 25, 1938 married to 1st Mary Netterville and 2nd to Bernice Anderson-with no dates (marriage or birth/death) on either wife. I would like to know more about the wives and his son James William Ashley III b. abt. 1934. On the 1930 Wilkinson Co. Census, James William "Willie" Ashley is age 20 and single, living in the household of his parents James William Ashley Sr. and Lilly Gertrude Jarrotte. The only Mary Netterville I can pick up in the 1930 census was b. abt. 1873 and is married to Eugene Netterville. Of course, the son was not born. Thanks to a cousin of mine in Woodville, I even have James William Ashley, Jr.'s obit from the Woodville Republican. And although that vital tool tells me a wealth of information about him, his children and siblings-- all it tells me about his wife is.. "He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Bernice Anderson; one son, William III; " which doesn't help me know more about her or his son. Of course, it is always great to be able to find our relatives on the census records or in the LDS records--but neither are totally dependable. To me, the best information is from the people of Wilkinson County who lived in or around the "information" and stories. THAT IS what I thought the Wilkinson County List was all about. Without trying to be rude, I would love to see a little more interaction between subscribers about FAMILY history not the Family History center. But thank you for your reply Brenda McCurley White

If so, most of the centers now have a subscription to Ancestry.com The 1930 census and earlier censuses are on Ancestry.com The 20th century censuses should give you some clues--but also the 1880 census which asked each enumerated person where each of his parents was born. Great info--if you can count on it!!! I understand that there has been some *messing about* with the search engines on Ancestry.com, and there may be difficulty in searching the 1930 and earlier censuses. I know from my own past research of the Wilkinson Co., MS-Feliciana Parishes, LA area that Netterville is found frequently in the records, beginning rather early. I suggest searching the Bureau of Land Management land patents--if they are still on line--for the name Netterville in both MS and LA. That may give you some clues. If I had a relatively unusual name like Netterville, I would collect them all!!! Is there a rootsweb list? Does Family History Library have a family history of that family. Do a surname search of the FHL catalog (_www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) ) E.W.Wallace

Just a heads up to anyone interested.... Linda Gene Felter Carter has only 5 books left of the Wilkinson County, MS White Marriage Records for Feb. 12, 1925 thru Oct. 8, 1956, Books P-Z If you are interested in obtaining a copy of these marriages and proof of your ancestors.... NOW is the time to do it.... ...because when they are gone...that's it!!! To order the book call Linda Gene Carter @ 601-888-4485 (Woodville, MS) or by email at: llcarter@telepak.net

Hi cousin, I'm really tired, but decided if I could help here. I found a William Jr. age 10 in the census records for 1920 in Wilkinson county in Dry Fork pct. With parents: Wm. and Gertrude.

According to the Wilkinson County Cemetery Book this would be Dawson 1. Looking at the map in the cemetery book the cemetery is on Lanehart Road off of Hwy 61. It looks like it is across the street from a church and is in Sec 22 Township 1 North Range 2 West. Dawson 2 is in Sec 2 Township 3 North Range 2 West and looks to be way off the road. The roads in the area are Pat Leak Road, Carter Look and Buffalo Road. Looks like Dawson 2 is in the area of Sandy Creek. Hope this helps.

Lanehart Road does intersect Hwy 61. Go South on Hwy 61 from the Hwy 24. Landhart is on the right about 4 miles down. Ogden Road may not connect with Lanehart. To get to Ogden Road, go West from Woodville on the Pinckneyville Road for about 3 1/2 miles. Turn left on to Donegal Road and go about 2 1/2 miles. Ogden Road is on the left. Hope these are the roads that you are seeking.

Mary, Yes, you are correct... It works somewhat like a photocopier- you can only print one frame at a time, then save it as a photo image [like a tiff for pdf file] to a CD or make a hard copy. This is so the original record can't be altered.. I might add - No, you are not allowed to print a complete roll of film because of copyright law/LDS policy. May be more detail than you want :-) Think of the traditional microfilm reader you are used to - then picture a standard computer attached [by wire] to it. Place your film on the reader, push a button and the image comes up on the computer screen-here you can adjust the image for best copy. Push another button and it asks if you want to save to CD or print it. Depending on the FHC they may require that you purchase their CD to avoid the chance of viruses.

1 roll of film is now $5.50 for a month. 1st renewal is $5.50. 2nd renewal same price places it on indifinate loan Judy >>For instance, for less than $10 a film [indefinite loan, This is no longer true.

The last time I spoke to them, the state archives charge $15 for research on any copies you might want. I don't know if they would be certified. If you want a certified copy you can get one by sending $10 to the Circuit Clerk, as I explained in my previous letter. If all you want is to take notes, as I do, ordering the microfilm would be your best bet. You will find the bond, license, and marriage certificate all on one page. I would suggest the microfilm if you are interested in knowing who signed the bond with the groom. Later marriage licenses sometimes give the name of the nearest relative, but that come much later. If all you need is the date of the marriage, there are two really good marriage books available at a very reasonable price. > For example, the film has photos of the actual marriage bond, if in > early > days, rather than a so-called marriage certificate The bond's, license and marriage are all recorded on one page in the marriage books. The bond gives the name of the groom and one other person signing for the bond. The license has the name of the groom and bride and date it was issued, the marriage is filled in at the bottom of the page. Sometimes the marriage dates are not filled in. That doesn't mean the marriage never took place. I check the census to see if the show up as a couple. Some of the marriages in the area where performed by passing preachers who did not take the time to record the marriages. > For instance, for less than $10 a film [indefinite loan, This is no longer true.
