A Note from the Web Master
There are plans to enhance this website in 2013 to make it more useful for those researching information on their Newton County, Mississippi connections. I’m looking for individuals in the county to send information regarding Newton County that will enhance the website. Information should be sent to NCInformation@nchgs.org. Pictures should be sent in JPG format with a resolution of at least 1024x768 dpi.
The type of information sought is:
Churches (photos, addresses, history, GPS location, etc.),
Cemeteries (photos, addresses, names, GPS location, etc.),
Schools (GPS location, photos of schools with name of school/year taken & names of individuals, if known)
Historical Photos (past places and/or events including schools, downtown pictures, stories, ...),
Family Bibles (pictures of pages showing genealogy information, story/history of bible, owner, ...)
Historical Markers in the county (Picture of Marker clear enough to read text, GPS location, ...)
Old Maps (images of old maps)
Rural Development Clubs (when started, membership, history, what was accomplished, ...)
Volunteer Fire Departments (when, where, history, how they operated, ...)

Basically, any information that will give visitors an historical perspective of Newton County with as much genealogy related information as possible. GPS locations can be gotten using SmartPhones, Garmin GPS devices, etc.
