Hello and Welcome...
Benton County, Arkansas
I am Judy Tate and I own and maintain all pages on ARFamilies.info. With that being said, I do not claim ownership of items submitted by visitors, I merely provide the webspace for the sharing of family info, pictures, and documents, as well as records and information specific to Benton County.
Enjoy your visit. Most pages have sound...if you do not enjoy listening, please use the mute control on your computer. Each page has a specific arfamilies.info email address. If you have comments about a particular page, please send email to the link at bottom of that page where it reads: About This Page. I will then know which page you are writing about and can make necessary changes/updates.
I have two personal email addresses, and always enjoy hearing from folks with an interest in Arkansas and her families...Judy Tate
