The type of requests we CAN respond to are:

Do you have a marriage record for James G. Snipes in Upson County prior to 1850?

The type of requests we CANNOT respond to are:

Who were the parents of William James born in Burke County. about 1794?
Who were the children of William James of Jones County 1820-1840? (Ask instead for a will or estate records and hope that the children will be named in that record.)
