My name is BJ Marlow and I am the volunteer County Director for the Mississippi Genealogy & History Network's Sunflower County Project. The mission of our organization is to aid genealogical researchers with resources and materials at no cost to the researcher.

This website weaves genealogical and historical, fading memories and recollections, and a few educated guesses with a dabbling of speculation to present a history of Sunflower County and a genealogical portrait of her ancestors and their descendants. I am personally indebted to a great many people, close and distant relatives (and some who may be), long time residents, newcomers, and old, for generously sharing, knowing and unknowingly, their family history research and providing clues and links to other historical sources, documents and photographs.

Let me know when something doesn’t look or sound right or it is downright wrong! I am working from many sources. This site will always be a work in progress. I will be bringing more Sunflower County resources to this web-site as quickly as possible. If I can be of assistance or if you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please email me at BJMarlow. If you have Sunflower County information and pictures you are willing to share, please let me know.

Hi Everyone! I was born and raised in Ruleville. I would really like your assistance in making this Sunflower County Genealogy & History site the best on the net! Please volunteer any vintage pictures that you or your family might have of the area or of your families. Tell me the stories that your grandparents told you. Tell me your stories of when you were growning up and in which part of Sunflower County you lived and went to school. Help me record the cemeteries in the area. I need your help to make this site GREAT! Please check back often for updates. I do host 5 Mississippi Counties and if you have other info regarding those counties, send it to me. Here are the other counties that I host: Bolivar, Coahoma, Marshall, and Lafayette.
