Jefferson & Franklin County Marriages

Ann Geoghegan has just published Jefferson County, Mississippi Marriages, 1805-1900. It is available at http://stores.lulu.com/anniegms. Also available at this site is Franklin County, Mississippi Marriages, 1820-1900. You'll find a couple of other Jefferson County resources at the site as well.

Update: See http://msgenealogy.blogspot.com/2007/09/errata-issued-for-jefferson-county.html for information on an errata for the Jefferson County book.

Relocation of Sites

During the near future you may notice that many USGenWeb sites will begin moving off Rootsweb servers. There are many reasons for the move. Among those reasons is that the USGenWeb Project has an identity problem. Many people mistakenly believe that USGenWeb is a part of Rootsweb and/or Ancestry because so many sites are hosted by Rootsweb. While the project has been grateful for the free hosting of its sites, many feel its time to establish a separate identity. While this is not the only reason many sites will be moving, it is perhaps the most important one.

Several MSGenWeb sites have already moved, and others will be moving in the near future. Here are the ones which have moved in the last few days:

Claiborne County - http://claibornecountyms.org

Jefferson County - http://jeffersoncountyms.org

Early Southwest Mississippi Territory (consisting of present-day Adams, Amite, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wilkinson Counties) - http://www.natchezbelle.org/sw/
