Posted on: Columbia Co. Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Columbia/10598 Surname: Stanford ------------------------- Hello Stanford researchers. I have no known connection to the Stanfords but the name did ring a bell. I am researching my Nelson and Hand ancestors in Columbia County. Going back over my records I find that I included several Stanford names when I copied pages with my ancestors on them. Hope it is of interest to someone.
