Here's a sampling of the helpful tips you'll get in the Georgia guide:
  • After slavery was legalized in 1751 and Georgia became a royal colony in 1752, settlers from Virginia and the Carolinas began to drive population growth there.
  • Worse yet, Georgia has some of the toughest access restrictions, basically limiting it to immediate relatives and heirs.
  • Georgia has some of the most complete newspaper archives in the nation, ranging as far back as 1763. The state's oldest newspaper, the Augusta Chronicle, has a searchable online archive of digitized papers spanning almost 200 years.
