Hello,

Indexes Unlimited just uploaded a new Arkansas book index. It is:

Arkansas 1911 census of Confederate veterans, transcribed and edited by
Bobbie J. McLane and Capitola Glazner. 3 volumes (a total of approx. 600
pages).

In 1911 Arkansas took a census of Confederate veterans, and had them
fill out very complete forms about their ancestors (usually going back
at least two generations) including maiden names of mother and
grandmother, as well as locations the family lived at. It also usually
listed the veteran's spouse, and her parents names, and his children and
their spouses. It frequently detailed where they enlisted, who they
served with, and often battles they fought in, any injuries, and
sometimes even comrades names who died in different conflicts and who
their teachers were growing up! This is an excellent resource for anyone
doing research in the south. The index is a Surname only index, but it
is a great place to start.

Hope you come and check out this and the other great book indexes in our
library.
