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. |
