I have a Joel Cherry, 1811-1877, buried at Liberty United Methodist Church in Macon. I believe (evidence is not crystal clear) that he had a daughter, Catherine, born 1840, who married first Avant, and second Vinson. Would like to learn more about this family.

Hello All, I am new to the list, so please excuse any bad manners. I am researching the following Wheeler family from Monroe Co. GA. I can document their presence in the area of Monroe, Troup, Pike and Upson Co.'s GA between 1824 and 1870 at which time Robert and most of his children went to Humphreys Co TN. I believe (but have not proven) that Robert M's father is William A. Wheeler who was in Wilkes Co GA for the 1800 census then Monroe Co GA for the 1820 census. This William died 1840-1850, his (I think) wife Susan ? was 80 years old in the 1850 census of Monroe Co GA. I would greatly appreciate any information that could link Robert M. with William A. Wheeler. Or any information that indicates Robert's father is not William A. and the Susan in the 1850 census is not Robert's mother. I have a great deal of information on Robert M.

Current directories for towns and cities where your ancestors or their relatives lived can help you make contact with "lost" lines. Older telephone directories, both the white and yellow pages, can be used to locate family members between censuses. White pages can provide family members' street addresses, which in turn can be used to locate records or help you fine-tune your census research. Yellow pages listings can point you to family business or help you locate mortuaries where funeral and burial records may be retained. These directories can often be found in collections of the local public library or their branches, in county offices, in state archives, in genealogical or historical societies' collections, or in the local telephone company's office archives. - George G.

Emazing.com Genealogy Tip of the Day Thursday June 22, 2000 Cross-References In Your Filing System Sometime records like marriage licenses and certificates contain two people's names. You may not know where or how to file them for future reference. A simple solution is to make up a cross-reference sheet, like we discussed recently. Make one containing one individual's name, a description of the record, a notation about where the original document is filed in your filing system, and any other pertinent comments. File the original under one person and the cross-reference sheet under the other person. Create the form in a word processor. Later you can make photocopies or print additional original forms as needed. Software like Microsoft Office can help you automate this task. - George G.
