A Note from the Clay County, County Director,br> Everette Carr.

Everette is the County Director for Clay County MSGHN. The MSGHN Clay County site is your source for genealogical and historical information. But I will need your help and assistance if this is to be everything it could and should be. I do not reside in Mississippi. However, with the help of Clay County researchers, that should not be a problem. If you have any suggestions for this site, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have something that would enhance the site, please send it to me. Looking for photographs of early settlers, family photographs from the late 1800's, stories, migration tales, Bibles, family history of Clay County residents. Send it and we will publish to the Clay County Web Site.
