THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Thank you for coming to visit Holmes County Mississippi. I am Jeanne Evans your County Director. It is my pleasure to bring to you as much genealogical information as possible. I invite any information that anyone wishes to have posted to this project. Just email me at: artworks1994@hotmail.com. I would be more than happy to post it for you. Hopefully with your help we can make Holmes County family trees grow like the magnolia.
Holmes County is located in the west central part of Mississippi. It was created February 19, 1833 out of the land originally ceded by the Choctaw Indians in the Treaty of Doak’s Stand, October 18, 1820 and known as the “New Purchase.” Out of the original large county of Hinds was formed Yazoo County, and Holmes was formed from Yazoo in 1833. Lexington is the county seat.
Many thanks to the wonderful people who donate their time doing Holmes County Lookups!
Please visit our surrounding counties.
Mississippi Genealogy and History Network is actively seeking individuals to volunteer. If you feel you have something to offer please click on any of the emails below to volunteer.
