    1. [GAPOLK-L] need confirmation on JONES family death
    2. Jane Benson
    3. I am badly in need of someone who lives in the Polk County, GA area to help me confirm some data just received. This past Friday I received the death certificate for my grandfather, George Franklin Jones, and it listed his parents as ROBERT JONES & KATTIE JAMES. The Georgia Death Index shows a KATIE JONES, Polk County, GA , died April 15, 1927, Certificate # 9277-1. Also found was a ROBERT JONES, Polk County, GA, died March 26, 1931, Certificate # 10255. Another ROBERT L. JONES was found, Polk County, GA, died February 3, 1932, Certificate # 6829. I would like very much to have my greatgrandparents death certificates but am not certain these are the right ones. Is there some way to check the information in order to confirm that they are my greatgrandparents? I just learned their names when I received the death certificate for my grandfather and have no other information about them and I only know of the one child, my grandfather, for sure. My grandparents were living in Polk County, GA at the time and I do have a 1910 census for their household showing the following: George F. Jones, age 33, born GA, parents born VA Sallie A. Jones, age 28, born MS, parents born GA William O. Jones, age 7, born LA Henry G.(or Y.) Jones, age 5, born LA Nettie F. Jones, age 3, born LA Mary Jones, age 1, born GA My grandfather was born 1876 and would not show up in a census for Robert & Kattie Jones until 1880 but the 1890 census is what I really need and that one of course is not available. By 1900, my grandparents had their own household since the 1910 census shows that they had been married for 11 years. The Robert L. Jones may have been a sibling to my grandfather. I would really appreciate it if someone has a way of checking the data to see if the above death dates and certificate # would indicate that these are indeed my greatgrandparents so that I can send off for their death certificates. Best regards, Jane Ashley Benson
