“So, if the internet…is an iceberg, the smallest part of that iceberg, the visible portion, is where you have been surfing your entire life. You visit websites, click links, use search engines to research topics of interest and generally just make your way around the visible Web.

| Southwestern Christian Advocate, (New Orleans, LA), Thursday, July 10, 1884; page 6. *** Published in New Orleans, between 1879 and 1899, the Southwestern Christian Advocate (SCA), a Methodist paper, had a large national following and received thousands of letters from former slaves attempting to locate lost loved ones.
Pastors were asked to read the "Lost Friends" column, to members of their congregation, and report back any resulting reunions. Publication was free of charge for SCA subscribers while non-subcribers paid fifty cents to defray costs.
For African-American genealogists, these very poignant letters may well be the sledge hammer that breaks down your brick wall! What follows are several Oktibbeha County-related articles.
