This MSGHN site provides
information on two levels. First, through our statewide
projects, we offer information of genealogy and historical
importance to the state as a whole. Demographics like
Native Americans, African Americans, and early settlers from many different eras are all
under development here. In addition to links to our project
sites, along the left column of this page you'll find some
special links to help you with your research and, lastly, a link
for our volunteers to access their information.
You will also find statewide
resources like the counties map and the county table.
Along the right column, you'll find a handy set of "How
to.." perform some very specific tasks on the MSGHN site,
including how to offer your services as an MSGHN volunteer.
However, our primary source of
information is at the county level. Once you have placed
your ancestor in one of the 82 active Mississippi counties or 6
discontinued counties, you can
continue your research at the county level.
All of our county sites, along with
our State and Project sites, are maintained by volunteers.
Our volunteers lead normal productive lives outside of their
MSGHN activities. They work at home or in their places of
business, taking care of their families and accomplishing the
many needful things that occur in the normal course of events.
Nevertheless, they find the time to create and maintain these web
sites. It is a labor of love and they are pleased if they
can assist you in connecting with your ancestors.
You will find a diversity of styles
among our websites. Some will have more information than
others. Older counties, of course, have longer and more colorful
histories than others. Other counties
have simply kept better, more detailed records and been able to
protective them more effectively from fire and natural disaster.
In any event, our Directors strive to obtain
and publish new information every month. You'll find all
of our sites well organized and easy to access, but feel free to
contact the County Directors if you have a question.
Nearly all of our counties offer "lookups," if you have a specific inquiry and
the reference material is available to them or one of their
lookup volunteers, they'll be glad to assist you.
In short, MSGHN and all of our
volunteers welcome you and invite you to visit with us. We
hope you find those for whom you seek.
"Now voyager
sail thou forth to seek and find."
