NOTICE!

Please check Mississippi County / City Index if you know the name of the town but not the county your ancestors were in then please post your query in that county - MSGenWeb Counties. THIS SITE IS FOR UNKNOWN COUNTY QUERIES ONLY.  QUERIES THAT DO NOT BELONG WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTIFICATION.

You may also check the USGS site for locating towns, cemeteries, churches, etc. at http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form

There are adoption links below if you are looking for birth parents.  Please do not post queries looking for people who are still living such as old army buddies, etc.  That is not the purpose of the MS Unknown County query board.

Thank you.
