    1. [GEORGIA] 1867 Voter's List
    2. Terry Jackson
    3. Wallace College at Hanceville, AL has both GA & AL 1867 Voter's Lists. Be aware there are Register Books and Oath Books. Wallace only has the microfilm for the register books. Robert Davis tells me the Oath books basically have the same information as the Register books, just on a prettier page. I copied this from the beginning of the microfilm: Secretary of State Dept. of Archives & History 330 Capitol Ave. S.E. Atlanta, GA 30334 Microfilm Lab Georgia Executive Dept. General Executive Records Returns of Qualified Voters Under the Reconstructive Act These volumes list the voters who qualified to participate in the election to select delegates to the constitutional convention of 1867 that would allow the state of Georgia to return to the Federal Union. The following information ws intended for each voter: 1) Number: 2) Date of registry: 3) Name: 4) Number and Page Number of the County's Registration Oath Book where the voter's Oath of Allegiance can be found (See REcord Group 1, Sub-group 1, Series 107): 5) Race: 6) Length of Time a Resident in the State, County, and Precinct within the past year: 7) Nativity by State or County; 8) When, How, and Where Naturalized: and 9) Remarks. As with any record, the completeness of information varies with the official who recorded the data. In many instances the columns designated "Naturalized" and "Remarks" were left blank. These columns have not been filmed if they do not bear information. Otherwise, the columns "Naturalized" and "Remarks" appear as a separate image following that which bears the corresponding names. The columes containing the county returns of qualified voters are arranged numerically by districts. Each county retained a copy of its volume and forwarded a duplicate to the managers of the state Board of Registration. Whereever two copies are extant, both have been microfilmed, allowing for any omissions and the comparison of spelling and handwriting. An alphabetical index of counties and the numbered district in which each was located follows this target sheet (transcriber did not copy) In Possession of Georgia Dept. of Archives & History 330 Capitol Ave., SE Atlanta, GA 30334
