| *Note: When you are researching records but can't find your ancestor, try the neighboring counties. We often think of early ancestors showing up in surrounding counties, but rarely think that a "modern" one might have registered for something in another county:) The Van Buren Co coordinator shared with me that she found several Searcy Co residents in the WWI draft registration information for Van Buren Co; just one more place to look if you're having trouble finding someone:) |
