<A HREF="http://lcomcorp.com/Library">Click here: Statesboro - Bulloch County Regional Library</A> http://lcomcorp.com/Library Some 18 years ago, she first volunteered her services to our Library. She volunteered as an assistant to ride on the Bookmobile. As she was riding through the rural areas of the county, she saw the many old cemeteries and realized that they needed to be surveyed before all the tombstones records were lost. She, along with other DAR members and friends, began a survey of Bulloch Cemeteries. This project eventually resulted in her publication of: 6 Volumes of Cemeteries Records of Bulloch County. Since her first project, Hulda Kelly has not been idle! Her dedication and accomplishments have been extraordinary. She continues to volunteer and work five mornings a week on genealogical projects at the Library. Here is a list of her mammoth contributions. She has transcribed and published the following: 20 Volumes - Bulloch County Censuses - 1900, 1910,&1920. 12 Volumes - Births, Deaths, & Marriages from Bulloch County Newspapers from 1899-1946. 1 Volume - Bulloch County Deed Book 5 - 1819-1840. "I See By the Paper 1899-1946" - Stories from Bulloch Newspapers "Uncle David Said" - Writings of Dave Turner of the Bulloch Times 2 Volumes - Bryan County Censuses - 1870 & 1880. 7 Volumes - Burke County Censuses - 1860, 1870, & 1880. 7 Volumes - Emanuel County Censuses - 1860, 1870, 1880 & 1900. 3 Volumes - Johnson County Censuses - 1860, 1870 & 1880. 1 Volume - Index to Montgomery County Census of 1880. 1 Volume - Index to Tattnall County Census of 1880. 4 Volumes - Cemeteries of Jenkins County. 1 Volume - Screven County Deed Book A - 1794-1810. 5 Volumes - Screven County Censuses - 1860, 18870, & 1880. I must definitely note that she has painstakingly indexed all these volumes, too! This task is probably as difficult as the transcribing. We should note that in all these books, not one helped Hulda in her own family research. Here generosity is doubly felt. After producing all this fine body of material. Mrs. Kelly has given the publishing rights to the Statesboro Library. Her stipulation is that all profits derived from the sale of her books be used to buy additional materials for the genealogical collection. In my opinion, family researchers for our area of Georgia owe a great deal to Hulda Kelly. She, more than any person I know, had done most in promoting genealogy research. We are indeed spoiled because of her good works! She has made our research easier and simpler.
