Subject: [GAFANNIN] couple of treats
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2007 11:26:31 -0400


A tad early for Halloween but here's a couple of treats I've run across:

http://content.sos.state.ga.us/cdm4/adhoc.php - Georgia's Virtual Vault

In the search box I input Abercrombie (as that's one of my names in North
Georgia).

Under that popped up 87 items that included that surname. Among these
items was the pension application for service in the Confederacy for my
grandfather's oldest brother, Richard Abercrombie.

Further down the listing is his death certificate with a new puzzle showing
a different maiden name for his mother than we have in our records.

Back on the main page though - Chatham County Deed Books, other will books
and Confederate Enlistment Oaths, Discharges and Pension applications.

The site shows many other things as well.

--------
a new search service (free) that searches all the USGenWeb Project sites.

This is helpful if you don't know where Uncle Jim, Sister Sue or whatever
other relative you are seeking wandered off to another part of the state or
a different state.

All states have now been indexed:

For all the GAGenWeb county sites - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/GA.html

For a specific other state or special project - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/

Plus, and the specific reason for this post, along the same lines is a
search engine of census records thus far online:

http://www.usgenweb-search.us/census/index.html

Specifically for Georgia - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/census/censusGA.html

You can basically change the GA abbreviation and input another state's
abbreviation to get another state's results.

Have fun!
