I have spent the last week entering in up to 10 generations on the family tree of the website. I really hope, with a long persistent effort, that I can obtain up to 10 complete generations in my family tree. This is very difficult, if not virtually impossible to do. Being the descendant of poor or average loggers, farmers, and early settlers, the records were not always kept. It's sad to read of fires and other disasters that have occurred over time and taken the vast knowledge of records with them. Many a courthouse has burned to the ground in the past. Many of the tiny, rural churches are gone too. It's a search of unknowing family members that may have that hidden piece of information you are looking for.
I have had the pleasure this week of speaking with Nicki Osborne, Jim Fullilove, and Bill Mitchell from Attala County. They have provided me with more information surrounding the Allen side of my family. I want to thank them for taking their time to email me, and provide me access to other sources. They have been very kind and forthcoming with information. Thanks guys!
Anyway, the Family Tree portion of the website is almost up-to-date with as much information as I have. The remaining entries for Nannie Wasson's Ananfetel Report will be coming this weekend. After this, the main structure of the site will be present, and I'll begin adding more media. Scans of documents, pictures, and other items I find. Stay tuned.
