SMITH COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY PUBLISH FAMILY HISTORY BOOK

A special hardback bound publication, "Smith County, Mississippi and Its
Families, 1833-2003" is now available that is devoted to past and present
families, communities, businesses, organizations, schools, and churches. The
book is a result of three years work by the Smith County Genealogical
Society and contains individual contributions for 580 individual family and
military veteran histories as well as writeups for past and present
communities, businesses, organizations, churches, and schools.

Charlotte Webb, President of the Smith County Genealogical Society, says the
book is an effort to collect and preserve important historical and family
information. Each item in the book was contributed by someone with ties to
or knowledge of Smith County, and each item is presented in their own words.
Many contributions included photographs. This book will prove very valuable
to those researching their Smith County roots and connections, or to those
who just have an interest in Smith County. Charlotte added that there will
undoubtedly be some people who will be disappointed that their histories
were not included, but the Society had for two years asked for and solicited
contributions for this book.

Copies of the book can be purchased from the Smith County Genealogical
Society for 40.00 + $5.00 shipping. Request and payment can be sent to:
Smith County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 356, Raleigh, MS 39153. Be sure
to indicate that payment is for the "Smith County, Mississippi and Its
Families, 1823-2003" publication.

Sincerely,

Charlotte Webb
