Family Maps of Yazoo County, Mississippi Paperback – May 20, 2010

I’m so glad I ordered this book and others like it for various counties! A true and helpful resource which helps better understand the districts and localities on the Census records. A must have when conducting genealogical research in the Mississippi Delta!!!

I bought this book hoping to find my ancestors, but having no idea what land patents are, or what I would be looking at, I was afraid I'd be wasting my money even if I did find them. Not only did I find about seven family members, but the book is written is such a nice, gentle? way...I was totally able to follow along and understand what I was reading and seeing and where to go from here. It is so cool to see the river running through this property, or the 3 brothers all next to each other in another area. Also noticed in-laws on some maps, so it looks like I will be up late tonight. So happy.
