Here is a message I received from one of my contacts on the Chatham Co. List. If you ever get time, perhaps there is something of Andrew J. MILLER in the records at the GA Hist. Soc. I might give them a call and get them to look it up for me.

Shirley, Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that the Central of Georgia records are held by the Georgia Historical Society in Savannah.

I was going to just cut and paste the following, but it is a fairly large article, so I will just give you a link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson16.htm Hope that helps. Cathy

My AMBOS ancestors came over from Germany around 1840. I believe that they came through Maryland or Massachusetts, and know for certain that they settled in Thunderbolt, Georgia. I've not been able to locate a ship yet, but have a possible "declaration" in Maryland. No "admittance" or other references have been located. Here's my question: Where in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia would I write/call/fax to obtain possible NATURALIZATION information about my German relatives who settled in Thunderbolt? Any help with tracking naturalization papers/applications would be appreciated Thanks, Peter Nesbitt [email protected]

Thanks, Shirley. Jerry B.

Jerry, No, I do not know William Johnston. I do not yet know who Owen's father was but his mother was Margaret ? Johnston. I found her in the 1850 Charleston, SC census with Owen and his sister, Elizabeth. They moved to Savannah when Owen was a young man because he was a member of a baseball team in Savannah in 1868. Elizabeth married Grover E. Bevans, attorney, of Savannah in 1870 and Owen married Ellen C. Pierson, of Sparta & Savannah in 1872. I have been to Savannah several times to do research on this Johnston line and had Kay Kole (genealogist) do research for me years ago. I have my Pierson line back to 1517 and have published a book on that line but this Johnston line is a real road blocker and the line my family wants most to know about. Many of my Johnston men worked for the railroad so I am trying to see if there would be records there. I will keep you in mind in my Johnston search. Shirley Johnston LaGarde

Shirley, I see from your email you have a Johnston from Savannah in your genealogy. One of several William Greenwoods I am tracking as the one who is my ancestor lived on Skidaway, near Savannah, and was given a gift of land by his father-in-law, William Johnston, tanner and shoemaker, of Skidaway. Do you know anything about this William Johnston? J. G. (Jerry) Braddock Sr. Charleston, SC

Where would I find Georgia Railroad Records from 1860's? My grandfather, Owen B. H. Johnston (born 1849), worked for railroad in Savannah. I have copies of letters and envelopes mailed in 1869 etc. addressed to my grandmother, Ellen C. (Pierson) Johnston, in care of my grandfather at "R. R. Car Shop in Savannah". Would there be railroad records available that I could search? Shirley LaGarde [email protected]

I think the AMBOS family is either in the seafood business or shrimpping business in Savannah. There are AMBOS's in the phone book - all kin to one another.

Dear Jerry, Wow, that is great Mercer background. My GG-Grandmother is Nancy "Annie" Maria Mercer. She married my GG-Grandfather, Albany founder, Nelson Tift. I LOVE this stuff. Thank you...
