Susan, This is one I can't quite get a handle on. I discussed it with Meredith several years ago, I believe. My William R. Brannon, born 1824 in Johnston Co, NC is shown on multiple census reports as being married to Mahala F. Pool. There are numerous church records listing Mahala Brannon. (I show F representing Frances) I can't figure out how Martha Patsy Pool, (daughter of Nathan and Margaret [Peek]) could be misinterpreted by a census taker as Mahala decade after decade. The middle name doesn't match either. I think that these are two different women but I haven't been able to figure out who Mahala's parents are. I was told by someone once that Mahala is the daughter of Nathan and Margaret Pool but I have my doubts. I'll be happy to share what I have if you think it would help. Julie "Susan Y.

My Forsyth families include: BRANNON: John(1), William(2), Cicero (who moved to Gwinnett Co) This family forms a brick wall in VA in the late 1690's. They migrated from Va sometime around 1740's to Johnston Co., NC and my branch (the one listed above) came to Forsyth sometime around 1825. Searching this family was made easier because of the press William generated in 1858-59. SHIRLEY: Benjamin Emazieh who was born in Abbeyville, SC in 1811 but died in Forsyth Co in 1886. His son Tribble and his daugher Vivian (my grandmother). This line deadends in Prince William, VA in 1768. WEBB: Joel (1837-1923); Sarah Magdaline (1872-1950) I haven't spent a lot of time researching this family so I have little information on them. Of course all of these families seem to migrate back and forth between Forsyth and Milton Counties as I assume a lot of our families do. All branches of my family made it easy for me. They have come from VA to either NC or SC to the Forsyth area with some in Gwinnett, Cherokee and Hall but no one outside of that area in any of 9 separate families I'm researching and everyone in my direct lines staying in the Forsyth Co area.

Searching for property records: I suggest checking with your nearest LDS Family History Center. It is normally possible for the Family History Center to order film from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City for a nominal fee. You will then be able to read the film at the Family History Center. The following information is copied from the LDS site on the internet: Topic: Georgia, Forsyth - Land and property Titles: Homestead records, 1868-1903 Georgia. Secretary of State Land records, deeds and mortgages, 1832-1904, with general index, 1887-1901 Forsyth County (Georgia). Superior Court Clerk ----- Homestead records appears to be only one roll of film. Land records, deeds and morgages is several rolls of film. The first roll is an index. The remaining rolls appear to have two years of records on each roll. The Family History Center volunteers are normally friendly and helpful. They will be happy to advise you how to conduct your search most efficiently and economically. Good Luck.

Ok suppose I contacted the Forsyth Co Courthouse and asked if in 1840 so and so owned land would they be able to help me at all in any way or is this something I would need to pay someone to find for me.

GA Town of Cumming. It is not available unless it is among the loose certificates at the State Archives. I actually went thru Book A several times before it perished in the Courthouse disaster. There is available a microcopy of marriage Book A in the Pobate Judge's Office, a microfilm at the Library donated by Garland Bagley and microfilm at the State Archives. The only book where the applications were recorded into the book was Book E. - Those are mostly online under the Historical Society but are way past the 1844 date. Donna

If you have a will, there is an executor or executrix. If you don't have a will, there is an administrator. There are bonds furnished and returns filed. In Georgia these were filed with the Inferior Court and were recorded in the Inferior Court Minute Books and later, Returns Books were added. The Inferior Court was eventually replaced by the Ordinary and then by the Probate Judge. In Forsyth County, these records are in the vault of the Probate Judge. They were microfilmed and are available in that form at the State Archives. Many of the early books are not well indexed. A partial index of Book A is online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/records/minutebookA.html Donna In a message dated 10/24/02 3:30:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time, LilEllen55@aol.com writes: > When one dies without a will (intestate) where do you go to find these > records?
