In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point where collected databases for all counties in Kentucky would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked so, even if an individual were found in more than one county, he could be easily located in the index. At the same time, other volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the individual county web pages. 

This genealogy "MSGenWeb" page for Mississippi, the Magnolia State, is simply an outgrowth of that original Kentucky project. 

As such, and in the spirit of involving as many as possible in this adventure, we want to solicit your assistance in making research in Mississippi more convenient for yourself and others. If you'd like to add your data to the database or help out with the Mississippi Genealogy Project, contact the volunteer shown on the appropriate county page. 

You may notice a message in the county listing indicating it is now available for ADOPTION.   This means that while we have created the county page, we are now looking for someone to take it over.  If you would like to adopt a web page for one of these counties, please contact the current owner of the page ... the name is listed at the bottom of the county page or on our title page beside the county.
