Back from NGS - an Exciting Find

I've been to the National Genealogical Society's Conference in the States. I apologize for the absence of blogging, but I simply did not have time.

I do want to share one of the most exciting new products exhibited. Arphax Publishing has introduced a new series of county atlases that show the first land grant holders in counties on maps showing townships, sections, and ranges. Two Mississippi counties, Leake and Lawrence, are presently available. The exhibitors told me that the other Mississippi counties will be some of the first ones to be published! I am really looking forward to obtaining the ones for the counties in which I research!
