RESEARCH in GEORGIA - With a Special Emphasis Upon the Georgia Department of Archives & History. By: Robert S. Davis, Jr., Pub. 1981, 3rd Reprinting 2002, 268 pages, maps, Index, ISBN #0-89308-199-X.

This is one of the most comprehensive guides to research sources in Georgia and especially the Georgia Department of Archives and History. Mr. Davis has pain stakenly surveyed the records and their locations and compiled a book that is a watershed for Georgia historians and genealogists. It is written as a guide, leading him or her step-by-step to the records - many of which are unknown to even the most experienced researcher due to long years of neglect. The inclusion of an outline to the county material on microfilm can help many a traveler to realize that a trip to the archives is more useful than one to the county courthouse. I can think of no better book with which people can use as a beginning tool for research in Georgia - Ken Thomas, Genealogy, The Atlanta Constitution. Outline of Contents: General Subject and County Index: Dept. guide explaining the various records and their potential genealogical value. Other Resources: periodicals, listing titles and addresses of over 35 genealogical and historical periodicals of specific interest, maps. County Records: an inventory. Basic lists by county of microfilmed records with indications for particular time periods when particular records are not available, with date of creation of each county and its number in order of creation and the name of the county it was formed from. Tax Digests: Basic discussion of the specific usefulness of tax records, with a lists of those on microfilm at the archives. Census Records: census records that are available at the Archives on microfilm for Georgia by year, as well as other states. County Histories: Bibliography of histories with specific genealogical references of approximately 1,000 titles. Land Lotteries & Colonial Records: comprehensive inventory of colonial books or records and loose documents, with reel numbers specifying their location in the Archives Microfilm Library, plus an extensive list of publications in which printed copies of these may be found in abstracted form.

The winners were to be drawn from the remaining (losing) tickets of the two 1832 land lotteries.  A search of the Georgia Surveyor General Department has turned up the list of some 1,500 Georgia citizens who won the lots dispensed in the forgotten 1833 land lottery. reproduced are the names and other information on those land lots and their winners. The original of this list is the last document on microfilm reel 286/49 at the Georgia Department of Archives and History. Also given away in this land lottery were a handful of lots left over from previous land lotteries. For information on abbreviations used in designating participants in the 1832 land lotteries, see James F. Smith, The 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery.  Also included in the list are more than thirty land lots omitted from the original drawing of the 1820 Georgia Land lottery. these lots are designated with "1820 LL". This list appears at the end of the list of Houston County land lots on Microfilm reel 286/47 at the Georgia Dept. of Archives & History.

This book is a "MUST" for anyone doing Georgia Research. This book by Deputy Surveyor General of the State of Georgia is a result of the many requests that department has had throughout the years for information on the location of Georgia's long-ago dead towns.

Mr. Hemperley found that, without a master list of the old as well as the new towns in Georgia, these questions could not readily be answered. Georgia has one of the richest & most interesting, legacy of town names of any state in the Union. This book covers over 8,500 places & the county in which they were or are located in.

Georgia's Roster of the Revolution. By: Lucian Lamar Knight, Orig. Pub. 1920, Reprinted 1997, 658 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-604-5.

This is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative published records of Georgia Revolutionary War soldiers. This book is a MUST for those researchers doing work in Georgia during the Revolutionary time period. It should be a companion volume to: A Researcher's Library of Georgia History, Genealogy, and Records, Vol. 1, and Georgia Citizen and Soldiers.  Even though Georgia did not furnish a large body of troops to the Revolutionary struggle, it did acquire a vast number of veterans filing for bounty land grants from other states. The reason for this is that it was the youngest of the English colonies with vast amounts of land but a scant population, located on the remote southern frontier. These bounty grants were issued after the war as payment for service rendered and to promote settlement in this the youngest of the colonies.

MARRIAGE and DEATH NOTICES from Early GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS. By: Judge Folks Huxford, Pub. 1989, Reprinted 2005, 464 pages, Index, hard cover, ISBN #0-89308-655-X.

The 18 different newspapers from which these marriage & obituaries come from cover the years 1787-1884 in varying times & formats with no one paper covering the entire time frame. Even though these newspapers come from: Baldwin, Bibb, Chatham, Hancock, Hart, Jefferson, McIntosh and Richmond counties along with 2 newspapers from Washington D.C. and Boston, Mass., this book should be considered a State-Wide reference source. Since these entries do not only pertain to the above mentioned counties but to neighboring ones as well. In the early days of pioneer development of the State, there were very few newspapers in existence. So, the ones that did exist would cover an extremely large area and people would travel far & wide to have their marriages and obituaries put in. On many instances these entries are like mini-biographies, naming several generations of family members, occupations, births, residents, etc.....
