Hi, I'm a new subscriber searching for the parentage of Paschal J. Shackelford, born about 1800 in GA and married to Harriet Hickman on 1 Feb., 1828 in Jefferson Cty., AL. I'm hoping to find that Paschal was the son of Henry Shackelford of Elbert Co. Perhaps old courthouse records may help in this search. I was told that several boxes of old records were found in the basement of the Elbert Courthouse about 5 - 7 years ago. Does anyone know what happened to these documents? Have they been archived? Any suggestions on how to find out what type of information they contained? Any help would be appreciated on locating these old records. Many thanks, Allana Bosch
