I wish to thank the
Benton Genealogical Society, former County Coordinators
and Volunteers for the data they contributed. The Resources
are as follows:
Cemeteries ~
WPA Project ~
Family Bibles
A note about the above
directories and links:
The comments, links, etc have
been left in place for archival purposes. It is unknown at
this time if the Benton Genealogical Society will do any
more work on the WPA Project.

Benton County has been completely recreated. The new sites will
be found using the buttons at the top of each page.
The Odds & Ends Site will contain those resources that are
not easily put into a catagory. There is a lot of interesting
information online that will be of value to visiting
researchers, please check back on a regular basis.
Volunteers for lookups are welcome, if you have a local resource,
books, public domain publications
or are able to do 'on the ground - or on site' research, please
consider volunteering.
