You have reached the

temporary index page

of the Amite County Historical and Genealogical Society

web site.

The previous site here was hacked

and infected with a keystroke-recording virus/malware program

that could potentially infect local computers that visited the site.

To prevent propagation of the infection and its potential harm to local computers,

all web programming on the entire site

(including the message board/forum)

has been deleted.

This notice will remain until new useful and informative

web pages can be created and uploaded. We will

begin with current or near-current information and update pages

as time permits with both new and historical file information.

This site originally contained almost 500 megabytes of programming including

images and sound files; therefore,

rebuilding the site will not be an overnight project.

Please be patient.

The hacker likely gained access for his nefarious deed through the

message board/forum due to its acceptance of input from multiple parties.

The likelihood of the forum being the weak link plus the fact that

there had been little public interest in the forum by either

society members or non-members, no plans are currently being made to

revive or recreate the forum.

Note to any Facebook users:

A group has been created on Facebook for the society.

It is an open group and can be found by searching groups for "Amite County".

This will provide an alternate means of interaction between parties

interested in Amite Co. but will not have the complexity of

board/topic levels that the old forum had.

Any critical information or questions can be addressed to
