Sandra Sandra; we found our family cattle brands (four of them) same last name in which each was changed just a little; at the court house in county in Alabama where we were looking for other documents. They kept a lot of records in the basement; so hopefully you could check with GA court house or the county you are looking in to see if they have such. Mary

Could someone share with me the method I should follow to find cow brands and the owners name associated with that brand?

Sandy, I don't know if it applies in all states, but in most of them you need to contact the county clerk's office. They should have a brands record book that goes back to the organization of the county. That is, if the courthouse didn't burn and destroy them. :-) Carolyn Cooper ----- Original Message ----- From: "sandy" <slsamz@charter.net> To: <GA-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 5:18 PM Subject: [GA-Roots] Brands on cows > Could someone share with me the method I should follow to find cow brands and the owners name associated with that brand?

Hello to All, I searching for Addie Whatley daughter of Adoline Whatley. I only have estimated date of the year she was born (1872) I do know that she had a brother and sister. Molly and Davis. 1880 Meriwether County, Georgia census states Adoline Watley (38) was living with her children Mollie (17) Davis (15) and Addie (7). Adoline was a widow and she was born in Georgia. If any of this fits in your Whatley files please let me know. Thank you for your time, Brenda

This year the KESLER reunion will be on 1 August i.e. the first Sunday in August. Activities will begin as usual 10:30 AM at the Prospect Methodist Church in Franklin Co GA. The church service will be by Rev. Dennis KESLER and singing by his famous family of gospel travelers. Dinner will be a spread of everybodys covered dishes placed together in the fellowship hall and we can talk at lunch about whatever you want to talk about.... maybe your family history? Then a short business meeting. Then there will be a memorial of Civil war soldiers in the church and local cemeteries in the general vicinity where we will place iron crosses on the graves of these soldiers and there will be military people providing the 21 gun salutes etc. Boyce Kesler Edwards is in charge of that portion of the ceremonies and she has it all on track, I believe. Directions: From Atlanta go north on I-85 about 76 miles to Martin Bridge Road exit. Exit to left across the highway and you are now heading due north on Ga Hiway 63, continue on 63 until it dead ends into Hiway 184, turn right then about 1/4 mile on right is Prospect Church Road, turn right again and the church is about 1 mile on your left. That is in the tri county corners of Franklin, Banks and Stephens counties. Come, bring your lunch in a covered dish and smile all the way. Charles I'm about as organized as a chickenhouse full of chickens. 7 times in the Bible God has commanded us to Honor our fathers and mothers.

Mea culpa! OK, I need to slow down. :-) I found the transcription using the FTP site of the GA Gen Web. For those like me who may think the transcription didn't make it to your county's Web site, go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ and click on the FTP site for Georgia then drill down from there by clicking on the county, the item of interest (in my case, census), the year, and so forth until you get the actual data from the ftp site. Pretty nice of Bob Torbert to have done that transcribing! Judy

The Paulding County, GA Web Site for American History and Genealogy Project (AHGP) has been updated. It can be found at http://www.georgiagenealogy.org/paulding/ A volunteer has submitted over 500 Marriage Records for the years 1929 to 1940. Also have a few early Marriage Records from 1860s to 1880s. If you have records that you would like to share, just drop us a note and we will get them online as soon as possible. Part of the fun of genealogy is sharing information and finding "new" relatives. So come join us researching our family lines.
