The paragraph labeled Mississippi is from the current US Gen Web Archives newsletter (only one of several pieces of information for various states). Please share this information to other Mississippi rootsweb lists. I subscribe to only two: Wilkinson and Copiah. Incidentally, when Copiah Co. opened up for settlement by Anglos [I believe it was called at one time Choctaw cession], a good many residents of Wilkinson Co. and of the adjoining Louisiana Parishes (i.e., Feliciana and perhaps East Baton Rouge) migrated there. That County has some excellent abstracts (census transcriptions, etc.) on the gen forum. _http://msgen.net/co/copiah/_ (http://msgen.net/co/copiah/) This is from the newsletter cited previously. MISSISSIPPI MSGenWeb Project has transcribed all the Slave narratives done by the WPA for Mississippi residents. I, along with several other Mississippi CC's and one of my best African-American Researchers, Linda Durr Rudd, did the transcriptions and they are located on the main MSGenWeb Site. The Slave Narratives Project has its own search engine and is receiving about 100 hits a week since we began working on it. We have already received many great comments about it.
