    1. [SWEAT] Waycross Trip
    2. Cynthia Perkins
    3. Just wanted to let you know I went to Waycross yesterday. What a drive. 4.5 hours down and 4.5 hours back. Visited Kettle Creek. What a cemetery!!!! Luckily my daughter had a special day at school. (go to work with a parent day). My mother, me and my daughter combed this whole cemetery. Talk about hot!!! but we got it done. The old part next to the church had to be done on foot but the other part across the road we were able to drive through.We found a lot of the SWEATS (southern line) We noticed some other names that were in abundance: STRICKLAND, BENNETT, BLITCH, FUTCH there were a couple of more that I'm trying to remember.Will send more names as I talk to my mother and add to this list of names at Kettle Creek.These are old families from that area. Took some pics of the SWEATS but I plan on making another trip soon but will be taking a Video Camera and having the film digitized to a CD so I can extract still shots of headstones.On the way back we almost jumped at every cemetery we saw....lol This is becoming very addictive I wanted to take a picture of every headstone I saw. Once I have a video camera and/or digital camera I plan on doing just that. We (mother and I) are going again but this time the trip will last for several days and plan on visiting some libraries, historical societies and of course some more cemeteries. We may even go bug the town clerks.....lol Will send the list an agenda of our next PLANNED trip and then let you know what we find to help the next person that goes down there to find additional info instead of repeating the same research over and over. Will let you know when the film is ready!!!!!
