Many of you probably already know about the Georgia Secretary of State's website. There is a "Virtual Vault" on this website that has Lincoln County death certificates for about 1912 to 1923, these death certificates give a wealth of information including the deceased parents' names. Other information on the website is early land grants for some counties as well as Civil War "Oaths of Allegiance" and other information. It's been very useful in my family research. Frances

Chris, I have never been able to access Oaths of Allegiance on Virtual vault. Perhaps I missed it? Please help. Even though I am interested in history of Lincoln Co. prior to 1810, for the info of others: In the Washington Memorial Library in Macon, GA there is a roll of microfilm that has the Oaths signed by citizens who came under the "Andrew Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation of 1865". I may not have the title exactly correct. There were 13 exceptions in this proclamation and if a man fell into any of these, he had to sign these papers. It was a separate amnesty from the one they all had to sign to be able to vote again. Just Google it and it will open up a whole new area of learning for anyone who is interested in the Civil War. If you have high blood pressure, you might want to take a pill when you read about this.

Betty, I apologize; the oaths listed are under "Confederate Enlistment Oaths and Discharges".
