Hello and Welcome to ARF Library Index. I am Judy Tate and I own and maintain all pages on ARFamilies.info. With that being said, I do not claim ownership of items submitted by visitors, I merely provide the webspace for the sharing of family info, pictures, and documents, as well as records and miscellaneous information about Arkansas.
I hope that you enjoy your visit. Most pages have sound...if you do not enjoy listening, please use the mute control on your computer.
Historical information, appearing on individual county pages and throughout this site, was gleaned from public record and other out of copyright sources. Each page has a specific arfamilies.info email address. If you have comments about a particular page, or would like source information, please send email to the link at bottom of that page where it reads: About This Page. I will then know which page you are writing about and can send source info or make necessary changes/updates.
I have two personal email addresses, and always enjoy hearing from folks with an interest in Arkansas and her families...

Project:
Cecil Cove Hike After a failed attempt at finding the Jones Cemetery in Cecil Cove, Tim Loftis and Randy Sooter teamed up with Joyce Lindsey, to hike into the cove and find the cemetery. The weaker sex proved to be a good luck charm for the two gentlemen, as the cemetery was found with ease with Joyce along :o). The remains of old home places along the trail were explored, partial foundations/footings of buildings were measured and documented along with named homestead locations, and other landmarks. Randy took pictures of all graves, rocks and markers in the cemetery. They can be viewed at a Jones Cemetery link on the webpage. Other pictures taken that day are in the Cecil Cove Hike Scrapbook. I have yet to transcribed the info from the cemetery pictures, if anyone would care to lend a hand at trying to make out the names and dates from the pictures of this small, hard to get to cemetery, please do.
