Arkansas is a state of contrasts from the Mississippi delta to the Ozarks and from quartz to diamonds. It is shaped by American Indians, hillbillies, Wal-Mart, and Tyson's and many Oklahomans have ancestral lines that come through this state to our east. La Nell will show us the great places to research and what records are available to help with your Arkansas research including those available on the internet. Discovering genealogy in 1992, La Nell has researched on location in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi. |
