Official Hinds County MSGenWeb Site.
FREE Genealogy Resources.
US GenWeb / MSGenWeb Project
  In 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point  for all counties in Kentucky, where collect databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked,  so that even if an individual were  found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers  were found to coordinate the collection of databases  and generally oversee the contents of the web page.  This is a FREE website and always will be!
This site is proud to be a small part of that Project

Please help build this site by sending me your family contributions (material).  The success of this web site is greatly dependent on the contributed material of those who are interested in advancing Hinds County, MS genealogy research.  As you explore this web site, you will see several sections that have very little information.  Volunteers are needed to transcribe available records and to provide lookups from personally owned or online resources for visitors to this site.  If you are able to help please contact me.
