Listed below are books on Walthall County records and families. Because Walthall County was not formed until 1910, many sources of interest to researchers in Walthall County will be found in Pike County records.
The list below was compiled long before on-line catalogs were
available. Keeping up with every
book published on these subjects is beyond the scope of this website. For the most current information please
check the Pike Amite Walthall System catalog at their website:
http://pawls.org.
Also check the Mississippi Department of Archives and History website:
http://mdah.state.ms.us/new/.

By selecting a state from the list at this link, you will be then be able to select from the list of libraries in that state which are part of the Webcats system and search their on-line card catalog.
