Newspaper research is a valuable genealogical tool. One detailed obituary, for example, might expand your family tree by generations. Moreover, an obituary can offer colorful insight into your ancestor's life.

Learn more about your ancestors from Franklin County, Georgia or surrounding areas with this collection of over 560 obituaries and death notices. Garnered from seven different Franklin County newspapers spanning 32 years, these clippings are reproduced verbatim, and include original spelling and punctuation irregularities.  

In cases where an individual's death is covered by two or more obituaries, the obituary with the most genealogy-related content is printed. However, additional information from secondary obituaries is noted following the main entry.  

Many obituaries are quite detailed, and may include any or all of the following:  the decedent's date and place of birth, marriage partner and date, occupation, military service, location of most recent home, names of parents, children, siblings, and sometimes even grandchildren, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. Moreover, the occasional murder or lynching makes for interesting reading--especially for the descendents of those involved.

A number of the obituaries involve individuals from surrounding counties, including Clarke, Elbert, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Madison, and Stephens Counties in GA, as well as Anderson and Oconee Counties in South Carolina.  

This book on CD has 216 pages and is fully indexed with a SURNAME INDEX of more than 1500 names.
