Recently it has come to the attention of the GGS that some way is needed for persons working on abstraction and transcription projects to know what others may be working on. The problem came to light recently when the GGS learned that a person had almost completed abstracting a Georgia county's marriage records only to find that publication of the same material was imminent. You can appreciate how devastating this kind of situation can be to someone who has worked many hard hours to complete a project. The GGS has agreed to become a clearinghouse for genealogical works in progress. The new project, called Registry of Georgia Genealogical Works in Progress, is housed on the GGS website. The Registry includes a form for submitting information on projects that are underway, as well as a list of works that are proposed or in progress. The registry can be used to alert fellow researchers whether the projects are intended for traditional paper publication and sale, or for internet publication at sites such as U. S. GenWeb. The url is http://www.gagensociety.org/projects_registry.htm. We need your help to spread the word among fellow researchers. Please send this message to everyone on your mailing list, as well as anyone else you think might be interested. Post information on your website. Let researchers know that they can check at the GGS website before they begin an abstraction project. Thank you for your help in launching this new project, which we believe will be of value to all Georgia genealogists. If you have questions, please let me know.

I am posting the following for the author of the following book. These are records that have not been available before now. Remember Henderson Co., NC was formed in 1838, and in 1861 Transylvania Co., NC was created out of Henderson Co., so you will fine records during these years here also for Transylvania Co., NC. Any questions, just ask? Wylene Alston These valuable records have been in Raleigh NC since 1960 and never available in any printed form before now. Estate records, or probate records, were generated when a person died without a will. The court settled the deceased estate and in doing so generated a tremendous amount of documentation. These documents usually listed the widow/widower, heirs (children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters), sometimes where the heirs lived, names of slaves who were sold to settle the estate, dower issues, inventories and accounts. In fact, estate records give much more information than a will. I have published an abstract of these records. There are over 750 sir names listed and over 5000 names. The amount of information is truly phenomenal! Click on the URL below to review the book and for ordering. If you will email the name you are looking for I will tell you if the book will be beneficial to you. <A HREF="http://ksummers55.home.mchsi.com/">http://ksummers55.home.mchsi.com</A> Kathleen Summers

The 1810 Census of Haywood Co., NC is now online: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/region/southeast/nchaywood/1810/1810.html I thought researchers in this area would find it useful. The search engine that is on the main page will not work until the census pages have been spidered, which should be within 30 days. However, since the census is in roughly alphabetical order, it should be easy for y'all to find your ancestors. Please pass this URL along to anyone you feel might be interested in using this census. Sincerely, Dawn Watson http://www.usgennet.org/usa/region/southeast/ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/3398/

I am tracing my families history. I know that my great-great grandfather was Pleasant York who married Sarah E. Kenner on Oct. 1,1863. I know that Pleasant died on Sept. 10,1876 and Sarah died on Sept. 5, 1888. That is far back as I can trace. I have the information from Pleasant and Sarah's children forward. Who was Pleasant's father, mother and siblings? What did they do? When was Pleasant born? Anyway these are, I guess, typical questions that people may have. If you can help me or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. You can e-mail me at Yorkfamily@charter.net . Thank you. Sincerely, Steve York >>> Subj: pleasant york Date: 3/1/02 1:01:35 PM Central Standard Time From: Yorkfamily@charter.net (Steve York) March 1,2001 Dear Dawn, I am wondering in the marriage records indicate the name of the grooms parents or where they were from? I am researching the history of Pleasant York and I saw where he married Sarah Welborn in 1848 in Rabun Co GA. On a web site, I found out that this Pleasant was born in 1813 in NC. Pleasant also married Sarah E. Kenner in 1863. I didn't know if the original records told more than what you transcribed.They are both buried in Loudon Co. TN and Pleasant's head stone reads that he was born in 1813. Pleasant was my great great grandfather and Sarah E. was my great great grandmother. They had 7 children. From the 1920 Census in Loudon Co. TN, it states that John Franklin's (on of Pleasant's sons) father was from NC and mother was from GA. If you can help any, I would appreciate it. You can e-mail me at yorkfamily@charter.net . Thanks, Steve York
