I'm working with Larry Whitfield (Bulloch Co) and Wyndell Taylor (who
published 6 vols on Cherokee Co Land Records) to create some pages about
doing Land Research in Georgia.
Believe me, I'm the novice in all this, and I'm trying to understand it.
We need your help with this. Please let me know if you have ANYTHING on
your county pages about Land, Lotteries, or Deeds, as we'd like to link to
you.
The State Archives page has some very excellent materials
http://www.SOS.State.Ga.US/archives/rs/lotteries.htm
How to Locate a Land Lottery Grant or Plat.
Bulloch County has some great maps on County development.
http://www.georgianetweb.com/bulloch/georgia_land_lotteries.htm
Cherokee County also has maps about that region.

I've just put these on the Upson Co pages which try to show the differences
and uses of the GMDs and the Land Districts, as well as actually how the
Upson County Land came into being. I've also begun a Q & A to try to make
it all easier to understand.

We need your input to add to this project. GA Land Research is very
difficult to the beginner, but is actually a very good and logical system
once you understand it.
Also if you know of BOOKS published about Land Lotteries, Land Deeds, please
let me know those too.
Thanks for your help!
