But with the launching of the Internet and establishing genealogical records thereon, the task has just begun! What with burned county records and immigration records yet to be translated and published, there is so much more to be discovered. While searching for my ancestors in the field, I discovered that county clerk frequently took those big ledger books home with them to work on. Sometimes, a person produces a county ledger found stored in the attic. Clerks used to take their work home with them. Sometimes county ledgers find their way to antique shops. There are other avenues of discovery, viz: church records. One has to visit the neighborhood where families resided, old churches, and graveyards. State Archives also receive church records from donors and place them on microfilm. The records of Pioneer Families contains mostly images of old wills, estates, marriages, some 10,000 traced families, cemeteries, and my own vast collection of obituaries, notes, and books in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia, are all growing collections.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9578f9b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9578f9b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e61cae3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e61cae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"282\" height=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/key.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3124\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-526","country","type-country","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/country\/526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/country"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/country"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/country\/526\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogy-books.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
