Amite Co. Mississippi Reunion is coming in June 2001
December 22, 1999
I've been focusing on genealogy lately and have revamped and updated all the information on my main Genealogy Page, my Amite County Genealogy Page, my Assumption Parish Louisiana and Bayou Lafourche Basin Web Pages. Specifically, I've updated the Outline Genealogy Pages for most of my families, including my Amite County ancestors. These updates are already visible from these webpages. I've increased my GEDCOM files from 2989 individuals to over 7300 individuals and I hope to have a new GEDCOM file up by the end of January 2000. My genealogy page, especially, has a new look with graphics I designed myself. I hope that this website has continued to link information to individuals interested in Amite County; I certainly get lots of e-mail asking questions about that corner of Mississippi. While I live nearly 500 miles away, I'm always willing to try provide any answers I can.
Happy Holidays!

In the wake of comedian Jerry Clower's
death, I've put up a page featuring
a short obituary of the Liberty, MS native with links to other websites.

Hi there folks! Thanks for stopping by. The past several
weeks have been busy and I've not had as much time for online stuff: I
finished a second masters degree--this time, in Library & Information
Science from UT Austin--and I got married to a wonderful guy! If you are
at all interested, check out the Wichita Falls, TX newspaper announcement
and some photographs from the WEDDING.

Hello friends! This is to announce
that after searching in vain for a webring that most exactly fit my webpage
topics, I began my own web ring--the Southwestern Mississippi & Eastern
Louisiana Genealogy & History Web Ring, (SWMSELA) to be exact. Take
a look at the SWMSELA
Web Ring Home Page to see what's going on. If you have a website that
even remotely qualifies, please consider joining. If you haven't yet gotten
up on the web, let others know so they too can get involved. The SWMSELA
webring graphic is located near the bottom of the All
About Amite website. I hope you can stop by! JMP.

Once again, I'm trying out a new
feature--this time in the form of the Geocities Add-A-Link. By clicking
on Add-A-Link websurfers can
type in the URL and a description of their favorite website related to
Amite County or SW Mississippi genealogy and/or history. I had been wanting
to include a page of links to other peoples' websites on Amite-related
topics and this seems like the easiest way of going about it. This new
Add-A-Link feature and its
companion, the Add-A-Link
VIEWER,
are located near the bottom of the All
About Amite website. PLEASE ADD A LINK!!! JMP.

I've added an automatic e-mailer
that will allow me to more efficiently let people know when the All About
Amite website is updated. If you are interested in receiving this
kind of announcement, I invite you to sign-in with this new feature--located
near the bottom of the All
About Amite website. Hope this is useful! JMP.

I gave myself
a scanner for a graduation present and have begun scanning the photocopies
of the 120+ estate files in my possession as well as the rosters of several
Confederate companies and a number of photographs of turn-of-the-century
Amite County that most people probably have not seen.
The wills of the fifteen married
women listed in Will Books I & II have been scanned and uploaded onto
this site as well as the files of a few other individuals. My goal
in the next few months is to get scanned images of everything I have so
that others may benefit--copies are rather expensive at the Amite County
Courthouse (25c+ per copy) and many cannot make the trip.
New Additions:
Rosters from several military units from the Amite County and surrounding area.Extracts from the minute book of the Amite County chapter of the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) including: 1) a copy of the condolence letter sent to Varina Howell Davis in 1889 after the death of Jefferson Davis, and 2) the names, regiments, ranks, and residences of the members of the UCV as of 1890.
Group photo taken of the members of the Amite County UCV chapter c. 1900 (no names)
Scanned images of Liberty & environs from the turn-of-the-century.AMITE COUNTY WILLS PROJECT
This is an effort to duplicate the wills and inventories of early Amite County and digitize the images so that historians and genealogists can access them easily via the World Wide Web.
