Welcome To
MONROE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI!

---

My name is Chris Jackson and I am the host at this time for Monroe County. I volunteered for this county because I live in Aberdeen Mississippi and was already doing volunteer lookups for Monroe County. Aberdeen is the County Seat of Monroe County Mississippi. My wife Dawn and I are interested in Genealogy and think that we can help people whose research currently takes them thru Monroe County.

Would you like to become an active part of this project?
Visit the Lookups Page and volunteer to do lookups from your personal research!
Visit the Surnames Page and submit your home page url!
Join our mailing list for Monroe County researchers!
