Marshell,
You need to start at your grandmother and work backwards.Get marriage, birth and death certificates -dates, places, property ownership, etc.Going by the last name of White living in GA is really NO lead at all.It will lead you in more circles than a slinky.
Remember, the basic information first - look on census indexes for her name - find the census page and every person in the household was listed from 1850 to 1920.
Good luck.
