Planning your first genealogy research visit to the Georgia Archives?

A few simple ways to make the most of your time:
• Bring names, places, and an estimated date range
• Write down spelling variations to try
• Keep a list of records or questions you want to explore
• Bring paper and pencil for note-taking in the research room
• Check our website before you visit so you know what to expect

A little preparation can go a long way.

In many cases, Family Bibles can be one of the best resources of genealogical information. For instance, this undated example comes from Indiana. Has your ancestor’s Bible been helpful in your research?

We regret to share that Maggie Thomas has resigned as CCGS President because she is relocating to Savannah. Maggie served as President in 2024 and 2025, and we thank her for her leadership, dedication, and commitment to the Society. We're glad that Maggie will continue to serve CCGS as Archivist and member of the Board.

In keeping with our Bylaws, the Board has appointed a successor to complete the remainder of Maggie's 2026 term. We are pleased that former Vice President Andrew Bramlett has accepted this appointment, and we wish him every success as he steps into this role!
