It is people like you, who have data on specific individuals, and would like to see that information placed online for posterity, which makes a county site successful. So if you have some data to share or just want to say hi, feel free to leave me a comment.
Links to data appear to the right side in the navigational section, unless the data is "new" and that will always appear towards the bottom of the index page for the site. The search is specific to Arkansas genealogy and not just Benton County... as such, you will get matches for names in other counties. That could be a good thing, or bad, depending on your exact search.
