Volunteers


You may request a look-up from any of the following resources. Please limit your request to one name per request. Please put HARRISON COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line of your request. In the first line of the message please specify the resource from which you are requesting a lookup. Remember that the person from whom you are requesting a lookup is a volunteer and may not be able to respond right away. If you don't receive an answer within a week, please send the request again. If you still have no response from the volunteer, please let me know. And remember to thank your volunteer for his or her time.

If you own any materials from which you could do lookups, please let me know
USGenWeb's Official Lookups Policy - Please read!
Volunteers from the Harrison County Genealogical Society will do free lookups from materials found in the Research Library, although there is a copy fee of 25 cents per page. Requests for research can be made by e-mail to museum@shreve.net and should be specific. (Please do not send a request like, "Tell me all you know about the SMITH family of Harrison County.") It would be helpful to include as much as you already know about the family and the resources you have already used.

Jim Oliphant will do lookups from his personal library, which includes births, deaths, and marriages from early newspapers, cemetery index, census lookups for the county for 1850,60,70,80 (Caucasians) and 1900, civil war index of those who served in the county, some African-American research, etc.

Harrison County Lancers
Jane Johansson will do lookups from her book Peculiar Honor: A History of the 28th Texas Cavalry, 1862-1865, published 1998, by University of Arkansas Press. Jane writes, "A number of men from Harrison County served in Company F (the Harrison County Lancers) of the 28th Texas Cavalry. Company F was organized in the spring of 1862 and was first commanded by Captain Phil BROWN. The 28th Texas served in Arkansas and Louisiana from 1862-1865." She is looking for wartime photographs, letters, and diaries of men who served in the 28th Texas Cavalry. Please e-mail her if you have any of these documents or if you have queries. If you're interested in adding this book to your personal library, please call the University of Arkansas Press at 1-800-626-0090, for more information.

East Texas Baptist College Yearbooks
Mary Frymyer will do lookups from the 1945-1946 East Texas Baptist College Yearbooks. 

Visit Pam Smith's Genealogy Page.
She offers free lookups in her collection of Texas resources, including Bible Records, Birth Records, Cemetery Records, Census Records, Confederate Records, Death Records, Church Records, Marriage Records, and many more. Pam lists several Harrison County resources, and will do free lookups. If you want copies and she has them, it will cost you only the cost for postage. However if you can view a picture by e-mail, she has a scanner and will scan it in; and you can print it at your home. She says she doesn't want to make any money; she just doesn't want to be out any. I haven't asked Pam for any lookups yet, but this looks like a terrific site to me!
