Coweta County Genealogical Society

Coweta County Genealogical Society The Coweta County Genealogical Library is open to the public free of charge. We do ask for donations to help with "keeping the door open".

As a non-profit organization, the Coweta County Genealogical Society of Georgia is dedicated to the researching, recording and preservation of historical and genealogical records for present day and future historians and genealogical researchers. The volunteers will assist you in getting started with your research by giving you possible places or sources on where you may go to check out information. We will do some general lookup information to help you, but we do not research your tree for you. If you come into the library you will be able to look at the different collections we have: books, magazines from other societies (in state and out of state), some microfilm and some newspapers. Our book collection includes family histories, Bibles and different state and county information. If you are not from Coweta County or even Georgia, you may find information in some of our out of state collections. If you have more questions please contact us at info@ccgsinc.org

Interestingly enough, it really is a myth that immigrants were forced to change their names at Ellis Island. Knowing this fact certainly doesn't make it any easier to figure things out though!

Finding Women can often be difficult and frustrating. Especially if family keepsakes such as Bibles or Photographs (labeled) are not existent or do not have the recorded information. How can you overcome this roadblock? Our friends at Ancestry compiled a nicely detailed list of places to look. Some of the locations seem obvious to me but others really made me think, "I would never have thought to look there!".
• Vital Records: Birth, Marriage, and Death
• After 1935, the SSA (social security administration)
• Sibling's vital records, especially after ~1940 when documents became more consistent!
• Church Records
• Looking at the family naming Patterns
• Probate Records
• Various other Court Records/Documents
• Land Records
• Obits
• Cemetery plots
• Military Pensions
• Other more distant family members memorabilia, like pictures and letters
