Welcome to the Cobb County GAGenWeb Site!
We hope you will find something of interest here or make contact with family
members or find that piece of information that breaks down a brick wall
in your family research. The work represented on this website is built on
the generosity of volunteers willing to freely share their time and efforts
with researchers just
like you. Besides the donations of transcriptions and pictures, some have
agreed to help you in your research (see the Look-ups section),
but please follow their instructions so that it is a mutually rewarding experience.
I am Beckie Watson, the County Coordinator and webmaster for this project. I
do not live in Cobb County but did for a short time in the late 60's. However,
my
mother's
family resided there and I have a slew of cousins in the surrounding area.
My grandparents lived in Smyrna and I fondly recall my visits and brief residence
there. I hope I am able to "bring alive" for you this wonderful county and
her past residents.
