Many times at the end of the month when i sit down to recap what I accomplished, it is obvious to me what I did. But this is one of those "catch up" months where I did a little bit of everything. So I cannot point you to any one spot to see the sum of the progress, it is a little bit everywhere. There are new death certificates, new obituaries, lots of new individuals in the files, and about fifty new pictures to provide additional research help.
But for me personally I finally cleared my in box of all emails and attached information from everyone. I want to especially thank Connie Epps Bond, Lanelle Romines, and Teresa Stewart for what seems like an inexhaustible supply of information. Just keeping up with these three is almost a full time job, and we appreciate the facts and information you share. As usual Connie found new and interesting information on the history of the Epps and Whitehead families in Clarke County, Georgia and we incorporated that data into the files. |

| Many changes to a web site are subtle, and this month I discovered a little piece of logic in my original design that just did not work. So the "Documents" section has now been split into "Legal Documents" and "Other Documents." The mixing of these two just gets too confusing. |

I made a little progress on my grandmother's history this month, but it will take another month to complete.
Of more interest may be a lead on Sandford Whitehead's parents and connections to other Whiteheads in the Clarke, Jackson, and Oconee County areas. I have been reviewing some estate documents I found in the basement of the Clarke County Courthouse several years ago and decided that I reached an invalid set of conclusions about Sandford's role.
I will be completing a transcription of those documents and send out to those of you focused on the Whiteheads. I plan to include a synopsis of my conclusions for your comments. So if you are a Whitehead researcher I will automatically send you one. If you are not a Whitehead researcher and have an interest please send me an email to be included. |

The cemetery records continue to be a challenge. I made it through Alabama this month, so I am moving, just not as quickly as i had hoped. As I think I mentioned in the past, I plan to skip Georgia and come back to it last. This will give me time to go through all our source material for more information, and Georgia is by far our largest state. |
