The Volunteer list has been uploaded to http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/state/volunteer.html This is a list of people that will do look-ups for others. Many have books that they will search, while other will go to cemeteries to do searches and take photos, while others will go to the Library or Courthouse to do research. There are only three (3) simple rules: 1. Only one (1) request per e-mail. (Husband and wife may be considered as one, IF buried in same cemetery or a Marriage Look-up.) 2. Do NOT send a request for "All the (Surname) listed in the Book!!!" 3. Remember - Many of the volunteers have full time jobs and do the look-ups in their spare time. Be prepared to be put on a waiting list. Be sure to ask about fees in your first e-mail, specially if you are ask for copies of records or photos. Happy Searching!!! Doris Robbins

Deborah, No one has volunteered for Fannin County, but there are some Cemetery Surveys online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/georgia/fannin.html Hope that helps. Doris Deborah Spencer wrote: > I'm looking for cemetary help in Fannin Co. GA... Anyone around that area? > > -Debbie >

Have just finished uploading the updated web pages for the Georgia Cemetery and Volunteer List. Have some new volunteers for counties that were not covered before. Still need volunteers for many of the counties. If you find a broken link, please let me know. Have worked on this for a couple of days and hope I have found all the broken links. I am still working on the other site for volunteers doing look-ups other than Cemetery. Hope to have it up in a few days. Thanks to all the people that have agreed to do look-ups for others. Doris http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gacemete/ GA Cemetery & Volunteer List web site

Hello Robert Peterson, I have no restriction on the type of genealogy lookups or time frame in Chatham County. What are you in need of? Sincerely. Brenda Peacock-Cohen

Brenda Peacock-Cohen - Hello: Noted your recent very kind offer to do look-ups relating to Chatham County, Georgia. In order not to waste your time, would you please let me know what type of look ups you are willing to do as relates to Chatham County, Georgia. Do you restrict your look ups to census records, city directories, cemetery records, and so forth. And, is there a specific time frame for your look ups. Your cooperation and assistance will be greatly appreciated. Robert D. Peterson e-mail address: [email protected]

Yes, I have Books for Dodge and Emanuel County, and will be happy to do lookups in Screven, Jenkins and Chatham Counties Regards, Brenda Peacock-Cohen

Doris, I'll take Dade Co and Walker (provided the cemetery in Walker Co is not near the Whitfield, Gordon or Floyd County lines... that's too far away for me.) However, the e-mail address for request should be sent to [email protected] Thank you.

Brenda, All of the counties need volunteers to help with look-ups. Do you have books that you can use for the look-ups or can you go to the Library and Courthouse to do look-ups? Let me know and I will post your name on both lists. Doris [email protected] wrote: > I do not have much experience with this but for my family genealogy I have > took several cemetery index.

Thanks to everyone that has contacted me by private e-mail and by the list. I will be adding the new information the next couple of days as I have time. Like many of you, I work and can only do this in my spare time. Lately have not had a lot of spare time. I will answer your e-mail as I update the web page. Doris Robbins

I do not have much experience with this but for my family genealogy I have took several cemetery index. I will help with Chatham County, Emanuel County, jerkins county or Screven County. If needed.... Sincerely, Brenda Peacock-Cohen [email protected]

Today I have sent messages to all of the volunteers to find out if they still do look-ups. Several message have bounced. If you volunteered to do look-ups for people and have changed your e-mail address, please let me know. If you are new to the list or would like to do look-ups, please let me know. I need to know the name of the book, if a book. Or the name of the Cemetery, if you will do "in Cemetery" look-ups. Also if you are willing to take pictures of tombstones. Be sure to let me know the name of the county where the Cemeteries are located. Thanks, Doris Robbins http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gacemete/ To the Volunteers that have responded to my private e-mail to them. Thank You very much!!! I will be updating the web page in the next few days with the new information and removing some dead links. Thank you so much for volunteering.

The Oakland records on Ancestry.com were compiled by a private citizen, Rachel Leigh Grizzle, with no official relationship to the Historic Oakland Foundation (the non profit friends group that raises funds for preserving and restoring the cemetery) or the city of Atlanta. I have been told that Grizzle is the sister of a former sexton of Oakland. She conducted her own cemetery survey and sold her compiled information (without the knowledge or cooperation of either the Foundation or the City) to Ancestry.com. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2002 9:22 AM Subject: Re: [GA-CEM] Cemetery Photos > Oakland Cemetery.

Oakland Cemetery. Why do folks have to pay Ancestry.com to access Oakland Cemetery. Isn't the cemetery owned by the city? Who gets the money and how much of the $69-$100 membership fees come back to the city? Who made this decision sell the records? Ann Boutwell

Dan, I have one suggestion for you. Why don't you go to the UsGenweb Cemetery Project and email the coordinator for that site and ask them to link your site with theres:) Also you might want to consider puting these files in the UsGenweb Archives so all have access to them. Also see if their are other Cemetery projects out there you can link to. Email me privately and I will talk to you more about a few other options. Just my 2 cents worth. Us Genweb: http://www.usgenweb.org Heather W. Bowers [email protected]

We have a <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~selffamily/index.htm">Cemetery</A> photo page for our Self / Selph family, with over 700 photos across the USA, and way over 200 in Georgia (20+ counties). How do we best promote these cemetery listings / photos so that all know these are available fro researchers? We had 480 on December 31, and this site is growing like crazy. Dan
