Thanks for the information. I will be staying with relatives in Young Harris but that's a little bit of a drive late at night for a single person. While I on this I might as well ask again. Is there anyone on this list related to the Millers buried at Mossy Creek Methodist Church. Also researching in this area, Dunagans, Edmondsons, and all related.

I have been looking for information for the Fornia Grady Faulkner Family. They are from Hall county. I can only find him back to 1930. He was born in 1906 in Georgia, Possible Hall County. I find him on a census in Talmo, Jackson County, GA in 1930. But no further back. So I can't find his parents. I will try to be at the Sitting Up with the Dead 'party' but I really need some ideas to start with. Thanks
