DRIVING:
ROAD DIRECTIONS to Brantley County Cemeteries !!
The Brantley County Historical and Preservation Society takes pride
in it's participation with GAGENWEB, and does extensive research and
provides genealogy information on-line free of charge.
As a non-profit charitable organization, we do the leg-work to make
your genealogical research easier. We've deprived you the joys
of tramping through approximately 60 country-type, weed growing,
sand-spur-picking, hot-sweaty, non commercial cemeteries and
searching over 11,000 burial sites, dating back into the 1800's for
the grave sites of your ancestors.. In addition to all that, we're
not sure you could find all these burial spots without our "road
directions."
CEMETERY MARKERS DETERIORATE: Many of the old pioneer grave markers
were made of wood or concrete. Many of these old wooden
cemetery markers have deteriorated since the initial collection of
information in our files, and may not be in existence at this time.
Most of Brantley County's pioneer cemeteries are much older that the
county, and pioneer deaths occurred long before the creation of
Brantley County in August, 1920. Before that time, the
Brantley County land area was under the governmental jurisdiction of
Wayne, Pierce, and Charlton Counties, and did not maintain records
until January 1st, 1921.
YET BEWARE: "Human effort is less than perfect!" While our
goal has been perfection, not all of our sources were accurate.
Information has been collected from family genealogical books,
newspaper obituaries, word of mouth from relatives, and cemetery
surveys. We have discovered that some family members provided
incorrect information, and that the land for some family grave sites
has been left unattended, or later sold, and "plowed under."
