Welcome to Holmes County, MS
I am Gigi Tanksley,
Coordinator for this County site. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please email
me if you have any suggestions or contributions you
would like to make.
This county was
established from Yazoo County on February 19,1833 from Yazoo County
which is turn was formed from the larger county of Hinds. Holmes
County lands were part of the land ceded by the Choctaw Indians in the
Treaty of Doak's Stand also know as the "New Purchase". The county
seat of this county is the city of Lexington.
I hope you find my efforts helpful in your research of your County roots.
I am
unable to do additional research on your family as I do not have direct access to records. I post everything I have for all to use.
I have tried to transfer all information to the new web site. If
information you submitted in the past is no longer here the link was
broken or the information was missing and could not be transferred.
Please feel free to resubmit your information.

About the MSGenWeb PROJECT
In June, as the
Kentucky Project was coming to completion, it was decided to create this page
for all states, establishing the USGenWeb Project. Volunteers were found who
were willing to coordinate the collection of county pages for a state page. If
you would like to contribute your data or create a county page within a given
state, please contact the person responsible for maintaining that state's page.
If you would like to volunteer to sponsor a county, or volunteer in any way to
help with the MSGenWeb Project, contact
Lori Thornton

About the USGENWEB PROJECT
In the spring of 1996,
a group of genealogists with mutual interests in Kentucky genealogy got together
and discussed ways and means of using the internet for comprehensive
genealogical resources. This resulted in a project to build web sites for every
county in Kentucky. This idea quickly spread to other states and by the end of
the summer of 1996, the USGenWeb Project was born.
