Hello Everyone,

Here is a list of the new information posted on the Union Parish Archives

------------------------------------------------

From Dr. Robert S. Hendrick, Jr.:

++ More Letters of the family of Union Parish Recorder William Callaway
Smith, his wife Elizabeth Amy Manning Smith, and son, Union Parish Clerk of
Court James Monroe Smith, Sr.

These letters give a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most
politically prominent Union Parish families of the 1800s. I hope Dr.
Hendrick will continue to share his collection of Smith Family data with us.

Coming Soon to the Union Parish Archives (ok, I guess that sounds cheesy!):

More Succession Transcriptions from Shawn Martin

This leaves Rocky Branch and Farmerville as the major cemeteries not yet
online.
