Hi. One more thing about the newspapers I was able to get via ILL from UGA: I had to view them at my local library; they were not to leave the library premises. Just thought I should be clear in case there are folks out there with their own readers. :-) Judy

Margie, Hi. I've used their newspapers on microfilm via Interlibrary loan (ILL). I use this link to see what newspapers are available: http://www.libs.uga.edu/gnp/titlelist.html I live in Atlanta, and UGA has lent the film for one-week in the past. So, while I have been able to get the film via ILL, I can't get it for long. I do not know if anyone outside of Georgia has gotten the film via ILL. Also, while certain newspapers are available within a date range, you can't count on every issue of that paper being filmed or that the issues will be in chronological order on the film. It depended on what issues were still extant at the time the filming was done, and if additional issues were found, they would add to the film in some cases. For example, the Hall County paper I used last was a pain to work with because it appeared as though issues within the date range for that roll of film were filmed at three different times, making it more likely to miss an issue if you weren't carefully reviewing the film. This may be more info than you were looking for, but I thought I'd share my experience. I LOVE the old papers for the GREAT info in them; but it is slow research, and I do wish I could keep the film longer when I do get it. Best of luck!

P. S. the title of the law books that have cases in them for the state of Georgia are "Georgia Reports" Don't forget newspapers. They are a great source and they report everything! If something took place in NGA refer to Jimmy Anderson's book on Lumpkin County newspaper extracts. University of Georgia has a great newspaper collection.

Some libraries will have a collection of or a section of law books. Also, I think that the Georgia Archives will have them. Some larger courthouses might have them, and of course if you know some lawyers who have big practices they might have them. Martha

I've just found this obituary in some old papers stuck inside pages of an old Atlanta Journal and Constitution which is dated Sunday, May 28, 1972: Mrs. Wilson Rites Here On Saturday Graveside services for Mrs. Lula Kingsbery Wilson, 91, for whom the old Lula I. Kingsbery School was named, will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in Oakland Cemetery. Dr William I. Howell will officiate. Mrs. Wilson, principal of the elementary school for 37 years, died Thursday. She was the widow of Fred S. Wilson and lived at 870 St Charles Ave. NE. Born in Carrollton, Mrs. Wilson was the daughter of the late Joseph Kingsbery, the founder and first president of Piedmont Driving Club. She was a graduate of Emory University, Agnes Scott College and Oglethorpe College. As a young woman, Mrs. Wilson was a sponsor at a Confederate reunion and met Jefferson Davis. Among her many Civil War souvenirs was a gunbelt her father used as a cavalry officer. During the Spanish-American War, she was a guest at the launching of the battleships "Kentucky" and "Kearsage". She had also met Col. Charles A. Lindbergh when he came South after his solo flight over the Atlantic Ocean and was acquainted with Amelia Earhart, the famous woman pilot who disappeared in the South Pacific. Mrs. Wilson took her first plane ride during the 1920s in the open cockpit plane used by Secretary of State Henry L. Stinson when he visited her father in Carrollton. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Surviving is a sister, Mrs. Olive K. Barlett of St. Louis.

Hi. Please excuse the simple questions, but what are the "Law books - Georgia Reports" and where can I find them. I've gotten interested in this idea of researching the criminal records, too, but I've not done so before. Judy At 10:47 PM 9/13/2004, you wrote: >Try the Law books - Georgia Reports for that year.

Try the Law books - Georgia Reports for that year.

No, Brenda. My cousin, Nancy Coody has been married for about 30 yrs. to Jerry Sapp. They live in Hawkinsville, Ga. I just wondered if you were related to him. His dad's name was Joe Sapp. Thanks for your reply. Jinnye

For those who have folks participating in the three draft registration periods for WW1 you might find your ancestors listed description and addresses as well as occupation on these cards. Also listed on many are the next of kin to notify and if none they list a friend or their employer. There is the listing of their birthday as they knew it and their signature and/or [their mark]. There is the description of the individual and the date they registered. Also many listings showing individuals at the time of registration with fingers misssing. Some with no arm due to injury at saw mills. I have seen some listed with one eye as well as some are deaf in one ear or both. Remember, even though the individual registered for the draft they all were not drafted. These cards are sometimes very remarkable considering many men do leave the scene afterwards due the Flu Epidemic and the war itself. In some cases I have seen fathers, sons, uncles, nephews, all in one county signing up and you get a description of these fellows and their signatures. This is another tool to flesh out the family history. It is worth the look. Besides being online these days you will find the microfilm at some of the libraries as well as the Family History Centers.

That is an interesing meaning. Since I haven't proven Simon father I don't know if this would apply. However, I think his father was probably died by this time in SC. I haven't seen where he moved to Ga Thanks so much for your suggestion. I will look into it. Happy Hunting.
