Joany:I share your frustration. I can only get back as far as my ggg grandfather who died in Greene Co., GA c 1827. Although I can find copious guardianship records for his children after 1830 in Upson & Troup, I find only one small reference in Greene to the appt. of estate appraisers. The actual estate records are missing. From what I understand from a fellow researcher who lives in GA, most of the records we need were destroyed in the Civil War.
I suspect the only way we're going to figure out our Georgian ancestry back to VA, etc., is for all of us to put our pieces together.
Have you corresponded with Pauletta Hicks? She has done quite a bit of Richmond Co. research in the time period you are interested in.
