Good suggestion Linda. Ed just send her that link and tell her that the
newspapers are her best hope for any information on this.

Ed,
She doesn't mention what area this is but here is the link to the newspapers
at Digital Library of Georgia and they have added more over the last couple
of years that cover more areas than before:
https://gahistoricnewspapers.galileo.usg.edu/
You used to be able to narrow a name search down to a year so it made it
easier to filter through but I haven't searched anything on them lately.
Linda B.

Thanks Debra
I'll glean some of your answer and tell her be an almost impossible task to
find much at all.

That to me is a strange question. I've grown up in Ga and heard "Belle of
the Ball" too many times referring to someone who received a lot of
attention at a ball and proved to be popular.
First of all you would have to know "which ball" and I would think this
impossible to determine as there were many wealthy homes at that time who
would have given balls for different occasions sometimes several a year.
Then there were some towns that might have a ball at different occasions
throughout the year. Or there might have been a ball for a county fair or
some such. Searching for this would be impossible. She would have to know
the date/time/plantation or occasion. This was likely never recorded
anywhere other than a local newspaper, if that.
The only chance she has is from an old newspaper of the time which is likely
non existent any longer for those dates. If it was Atlanta, there may have
been a newspaper mention and I would think that is her only chance of
finding this information. Some early papers do go back a long way but I'm
not sure they go that far back.

Where would I find information on an activity in Atlanta or Clay or Randolph
County wherein my 3rd great grandmother was chosen the "Belle of the Ball"
according to family lore? It would have been in the late1830's or early
1840's. She was Narcissa Virginia Kennedy.
Thanks.
