Hello Groupies,
I am researching the Walker, Carr, Busby, Sellers,Tackett, and Campbell family lines, all were in Tishomingo Co. MS at one time. Some also jumped across the state borders into Al and TN. Our Walker family was from the Short Creek, Cooks Landing, Campground area.
I do have Tishomingo County research sources at home that I will do look-ups in if any of ya'll need me to. Good luck with your hunting !! ......Judy Walker

Hi... I'm researching by Bouchillon / Ming / Carroll family lines. Generally settled in Oktibehha and Winston Counties. I have some materials from my visit there two years ago. I'm interested in any connectios to these lines or the localities. I also have listed a relative from Pickens County. There wasn't any other information and this is my brick wall relative so I have little information to include/exclude data. I think the issue centers around the granting of statehoods between GA, AL and MS. Each of them seem to have a Pickens County and I'm wondering if it is possible that it is all one location. I'm not sure how to proceed and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance. :)

I live in Tishomingo County and am related to many lines from the area. I am also the Director for the Tishomingo County Archives & History Museum which is run by the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society. Some of the lines I am researching are: Anglin, Marlar, Bonds, Lambert, Joslin, Hodge, Frederick, Owens just to name a few.

For those of you who currently live in the MS area.. are there any groups/societies that meet on any kind of a regular basis? It has been hard to find Mississippi genealogy groups. Years ago I went to a one day seminar in Pasagoula and I can't recall who even sponsored that one. I am moving to Brookhaven next year.

I am reserching Elisha and Jemima (Wardlow) Dancer in Corinth, MS. Elisha was a Confederate soldier and grew up in McNairy, TN. They died about 1870 and 1873 probably in Corinth, MS. Any help is appreciated.
