"This is a collection of 283 genealogies which I have compiled over a period of twenty years as a professional genealogist. ... While I have dealt with some of Oglethorpe's settlers, the vast majority of the genealogies included in this collection deal with Georgians who descend from settlers from other states."--Note to the Reader.
Intended to be the first issue of a serial, this initial number had no successors. The focus is on 18th- and 19th-century families in Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia.
This work contains abstracts of the intestate records of the fifty-seven Georgia counties formed before the 1832 Land Lottery, plus those for Fulton (1853), White (1857), Dawson (1857), and Webster (1853) counties. Besides the name of the deceased and the dates of the various court papers, information in the abstracts includes the names of the administrators, sureties and guardians (often relatives of the deceased), names of the surviving spouse and children, the names of orphan children and heirs, and, where a will is recorded, the names of the legatees!
Georgia obituaries is an alphabetical listing of over 13,000 records which includes names, births, deaths, place, spouse, parents, etc. ... Most of the data herein was gathered from old newspaper records, including obituaries, tributes of respect, birthday celebrations, etc."--Preface.

This is an index to the earliest surviving will books of those Georgia counties formed before the 1832 Land Lottery. It was prepared from a microfilm copy of the county will books. More specifically, this index derives from copies of wills made by the Clerk, whose job it was to enter verbatim copies in the large will books.--From Note to the reader, p. [iii].
