I have had very little help out of Aiken Co. on my researching.

Sorry for all the cross posting, but hope someone will help. I am trying to develop information on the second family of my ggg-grandfather, Ewell/Uel/Newell Coursey b. ca 1818, Edgefield Dist, SC ..... 2 James W. COURSEY b: Abt. 1851 in SC ..... 2 Franklin N.

COURSEY b: Abt. 1904 I have determined that these individuals are the half siblings of my gg-grandfather, John Franklin Coursey, born Sept 26, 1836 Shaws township, Edgefield Co, SC (part is now in Aiken Co.) d. March 26, 1912, Edgefield Co, SC. His mother died and his father remarried to Elizabeth UNKNOWN. There are other children, which I have listed in a complete outline below. I have gotten some good documentation on the children of 1st wife, from whom I descend, but not so for the all of the 2nd family. Have documentation of the 2nd marriage, but not 1st, except that Harriett Robertson was given as the mother on the death cert. of Mary Jane Coursey Arthur, and the informant on her death certificate is one JESSE COURSEY, who is probably her half brother Jesse b. 1864. This is JESSE's father, per my information and research, but I have no proof that this Jesse is the same as the Jesse of the Census records with Ewell, UEL COURSEY... however ages work, and IF I am remembering correctly, he was the only one listed in Augusta GA census records.

Would love to know the last name of the mother of Jesse Coursey, if someone has access to any GA death certificates. I do get a little upset with folks who don't put predeceased relatives, especially parents, into the obits! Don't forget to look at COSSEY, CORSEY, COURSY, etc. I even found one listed in one SC census as a CASEY. Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net

Brenda, If no one else gets back to you.......let me know and I will go to the Aiken Co. Courthouse and get your marriage certificate. You will have to give me the information and I will get it. Be sure to let me know if you need a certified copy. I will also let them know that they did not follow up on a legal request for a certified copy of a marriage certificate as opposed to a request for genealogical information.

I live in Kennesaw, GA, which is about 4 hours away. My mother's family has been from the Aiken, Barnwell, Allendale counties for generations. I needed to obtain a copy of my grandparents marriage certificate. They were married in Warrenville on Oct. 4, 1923. Since this record is not at the archives, but is at the probate court of Aiken County, I followed instructions and called them. I was told by a very nice lady to send in a letter giving all the pertinent information, $5, and a stamped and self addressed envelope. This is what I did. A few days later I received my envelope back, but instead of the certificate, inside was my $5 and a terse note saying basically that they did not have staff for doing "genealogy research" and I would have to come there. I'm a little confused about why I was told one thing on the phone as if this was a normal request and that they had set procedures for handling it and then receiving a letter stating that it wasn't done. Can someone shed light on this for me? Many thanks, Brenda Roberts Shelton Kennesaw, GA
