The Mississippi Genealogy Project

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the webpages for other counties around the United States. From that, the USGenWeb Project was born, of which the Mississippi Genealogy Project (MSGenWeb) is a part.

My name is Bruce Reeves and I am the person responsible for Leake County. If you would like to contribute your information to this page, please let me know.

Dancing Rabbit Genealogical & Historical Society Books

In a recent note from the Dancing Rabbit Genealogical & Historical Society, the Leake County Mississippi Tombstone book is available and sells for $65. You can pick it up from the folks in Carthage for that price (plus sales tax), or you can pay another $5.00 for shipping. Books shipped to Mississippi must include $4.90 for Mississippi Sales Tax.

Also newly available is the Leake County, Mississippi Marriage Records Volume 1. This 165 page book covers marriage applications recorded in the Leake County Courthouse Marriage Books A through D dated from 1835 through February 1867. It is a laminated soft-cover spiral bound book. It costs $22.50 plus $5 shipping and books shipped to a Mississippi address should include $1.93 for Mississippi Sales Tax.

You can order either book by sending your payment (check only) to Dancing Rabbit Genealgoical & Historical Society, P.O. Box 166, Carthage, MS 39051.

Your request should include you name, address, email address, and phone number, as well, of course, as your payment.

This would make a great gift for many in our circles.

A couple of notes here. The MSGenWeb requires that this site publish the e-mail addresses of their coordinator Jeff Kemp and assistant-coordinator Denise Wells or assistant-coordinator Ann Geoghegan You can reach either of them by clicking on the appropriate link. They further require that this page publish the current logo. I find it offensive and, as such, am reproducing it here ... just extremely small.
