This came through on the Oglethorpe List....so let's take up the challenge. They have 39 "way more than any other GA county. "....so they say. Well, let's see if we can't give them a run for their money! I've also included the tips that Jeanne provided. From: "Ernie/Jeanne Arguelles" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Well, there's no doubt about it... Oglethorpe County *rules* when it comes to researcher contributions! There are currently 39 wills posted on the Oglethorpe GenConnect Will Board, which is way more than any other GA county. Thank you to all who have taken the time to share these valuable documents. To keep this trend going, I'd like to hold a "Will Drive" -- if you've got an Oglethorpe Co will (or other probate document), let's get it online so we can help our fellow researchers and keep those cousins a-callin'! The Will Board is located at: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/JonesWill http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/TaylorWill http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/BibbWill http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/UpsonWill http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/BaldwinWill A couple helpful hints for posting wills: 1) If you've already got the document transcribed in your computer, you can post it very quickly with the "copy & paste" method. (If you need help with this, just let me know). 2) Capitalizing SURNAMES will make it easier for readers to spot the names they're looking for. 3) Include source info (book & page number) if you have it. 4) In the "Subject" space, include name & date (John Smith - 1825). 5) In the "Surname List" space, list only those surnames (and not first names)that appear in the document (not all the names you're researching). Put them one under the other. Smith Jones Edwards The national search engine will pull up these names, and searchers will expect to see the name in the document. Virginia
