Please be our guest at our "Open House" during Mayfair in Senatobia, MS May
11, 2002. We would like for you to see one of the best Genealogical Research
Libraries in North Mississippi as well as the Archives of Tate County
Records.
We are located upstairs in the Leroy Crockett Building at 105 Court Street
and will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
You can just walk across the Courthouse parking lot from the Fair.
Please Come.
Regards,
The Officers of The Tate County Genealogical & Historical Society

My understanding is that it is up to the coordinator of the site to recruit
and accept either an assistant or co-coordinator. Although I'm sure if you
let Ellen know she will send any volunteers your way. A good way to recruit
is to look at who is active in answering queries on the mailing list and/or
giving you information they transcribe now. or just flat out ask on the
mailing list if anyone is interested in helping with the site. You don't
even have to offer them an official position or the ability to ftp to the
site at first till you see how it works out.
Helen and I volunteered for Tallahatchie at about the same time. Rich left
it up to Helen since she volunteered first and luckily we worked really well
together. Not every situation has worked out as well as ours has worked
out. Our division of labor has changed over the years, but it has always
worked out. Helen and I have become good friends even though we live miles
apart. It is hard to believe that we have been doing this for so long now.

Thank you, Ruth Ann Brummett Faris, for the fantastic job of
cataloging and photographing Smith Cemeter, in Lamar County,
Alabama, but just across the line from Caledonia, Lowndes County,
MS. Many Mississippians are buried there.
I also photographed a lot of stones in the Artesia, Lowndes, MS
Cemetery and am working on placing them online. Both cemeteries
can be viewed at

I should check my mailing list email more often. There is a Sumner in
Tallahatchie County. It has one of the two courthouses in the county. There
is a history of it included on the website. One of my husband's ancestors
was the Sumner that donated the land for the courthouse, jail, school,
railroad station and.......
I am finally going to get to go see it in Sept. We are planning a week long
genealogy visit that will carry us from Holly Springs, MS (for my family)
down through Sumner, Webb, and finally the archives in Jackson.

Sumner is in Tallhatchie Co. It is south of Tutwiler and just north of
Webb. There was a lady who was always the dorm mom at my church camp who
lived there in Sumner. She always described it as being about 20 miles from
Clarksdale. (My map shows it to be about 16 miles from Clarksdale.) Her
husband preached in Rome, MS which was across the line in Sunflower Co.
