A group of volunteers working together to provide Internet websites for genealogical research in every county in the State of Georgia. This Project is non-commercial and fully committed to free access for everyone.
Extensive transcriptions of marriage and Bible records
The purpose of this project is to organize volunteers who will work together to create a lasting tribute to Georgia ancestors. Coordinators transcribe tombstone inscriptions and archive that work for the future in a form easily accessible to all. Their goal is to record tombstone inscriptions now---before they are lost forever to the winds and the rains.
You can volunteer to help with this important effort.
