Benton County was maintained by Tami Ramsey until 2007 and is currently maintained by Pat Asher & Nancy Feroe.  Very nice, simple table layout and design.  Minimal graphics and easy on the eyes color scheme.

Table starts off with a simple history of the county and then provides a list of current resources:

• Churches
• Education
• Funeral Homes
• Government-Benton County
• Government-City of Bentonville
• History
• Libraries
• Museums & Historical Sites
• Native Americans
• Newspapers
• Organizations
• Timeline, 1541-1999

All of those links work and the addition of current information is very nice to those who are not familiar with Benton County.  The next section title “Online Resources” I assumed were links to other information but was pleasantly surprised to find onsite info:

• Biographies & Family Group Sheets – Goodspeed Biographies for Benton County
• Books / Lookups
• Cemeteries – Very nice listing of the cemetery information available from various resources.
• Census – One broken link to the 1860 census.  Other links work fine.
• County Officials 1836-1958 – Nice database
• Deaths – Mortality schedules for 1850 & 1860.
• Land / Deeds – Very nice database of deeds from 1833 – 1875 & first lot owners in Bentonville.
• Maps
• Marriages – App. 50 transcriptions.
• Military Records – Valuable links  to other websites with info.
• Obituaries – not many obits but what they have is laid out well.
• Photographs – again, not many but what they do have is laid out well.
• Postcards – about 10 which show historical sites in the county.
• NWAGS Probate Index – nice probate index, several hundred listed.
• Wills (transcriptions) – about 10 wills donated.  Can’t fault this, will transcriptions are generally not that common due to the limited amount of interest to the public in general.

There is a nice working search box, a section for queries, a list of researchers websites and a list of outside links to more information.

• Arkansas County Courthouses
• Northwest Arkansas Publications
• Miscellaneous Genealogy Helpers
• RootsWeb Resources for Benton County, AR
• Linkpendium Resources for Benton County, AR
• Search the LDS database (FamilySearch.org)
• Search the DAR Library Catalog
• University of Arkansas Libraries/Special Collections

Overall, this is a very nice website and well worth checking out if you have northern Arkansas ancestors.  I found the one bad link on the 1860 census but believe this is just a case of the info being moved around.  The ladies have done very well in making it a quality website!
