I didn’t realize FamilySearch had the marriage records online. I use the GVV all the time, but have been very discouraged by the quality, so it’s good to know better images are online. Thanks so much for pointing this out!

Thanks – I enjoy your blog. In case you or your readers have missed the addition – familysearch.org recently (March 2013) added the Georgia marriage books for many counties – including Jackson. Much better image quality than on Georgia’s excellent Virtual Vault and – oh joy – searchable by groom or bride name! For me, the addition of the books for Greene County is manna, since those are not on Virtual Vault. I had borrowed the microfilms from the LDS last year, but there always those names you only know about after the microfilm has been returned to Salt Lake. https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1927197

I absolutely agree on all points, particularly regarding blogs. They’re relatively easy to find and are a great way to connect with other researchers and get *good* information out there.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Dawn, publishing was indeed the solution I thought of when reading the issues raised in the APG discussion. Even a blog entry with a discussion of the findings and how the evidence changes the popularly accepted facts would be helpful as it could be found by the patriot’s descendants perhaps more easily than an item in a journal unless the journal was on-line.

Regards
Anne

Thanks for mentioning my post on the H.F. Given Tomb. It is a wonderful tribute to a most interesting family.
