Welcome to my Allgood and Newcomb genealogy website!  Not unlike most novice genealogists, I started out from scratch, not knowing much about my family history beyond my grandparents right there in good old Jasper County, Mississippi.  And YES it IS God's Country.

My first efforts were animated by the quest to find Confederate soldiers among my ancestors; I have found three so far, not bad I figure, they served the South everywhere from Vicksburg, to Nashville, to Atlanta.

What a strange endeavor is genealogy.  When I began, all I had were names, dates, and an occasional black and white photo to link me to those souls long departed.  What I didn't forsee was how the meaning of this work would change for me when those I love became memories. 

So, now for all of us who spend countless hours in libraries, courthouses, etc., it is our work to make sure they are remembered.... if only by names, dates and black and white photos.

Cherish your families while you have them.
