Posted with Charlie's permission Gay Pace Researching Kemp genealogy To all my fellow researchers and friends, If you have not discovered this searchable data base before, take a look at this site on the Atlanta Historical Society website. This is a file of the cemetery records for the 5-6 county area surrounding Atlanta, published originally as the "Necrology" by Frank Garrett . I understand this info was compiled in the 1930s. It is very slick; just plug in a last name in the first slot and a " % " sign in the slot for first names and look at what you are getting! Request feedback on what you think of this site and any new discoveries that you've made within your own genealogy searching. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. http://garrett.atlantahistorycenter.com/glist.php Later, Charlie Kemp, [email protected] Researching Kemp, Bishop, Waits, and Anderson heritage

A suggestion for finding family through visits to cemeteries: A distant Goad cousin recently took a tour of cemeteries in several states where known family members were interred. When she found a family grave, she left a silk rose and her business card. On the back of the card, she indicated her relationship to a family patriarch, and invited others related to the family to contact her. She had no idea whether this would yield any results or not, but she has since been contacted by several members of her extended family who have helped her to locate other living family and fill in some of the remaining blanks on her family tree. I thought this was a great idea for others who are searching for extended family but have hit the proverbial brick wall.
