Clarke County Finding Aid
Clarke
County, Georgia Probate Court Records Finding Aid
This finding aid is an outcome of the 1999-2000
grant funded by the Historical Repositories Grant Program of the Georgia
Historical Records Advisory Board. The main objectives of that project
were to find, clean, sort, inventory, and arrange the Probate Court
records of Athens-Clarke County as well as to develop a finding aid
to easily locate the information. The original finding aid is a paper
document with copies located in The Athens-Clarke County Probate Court
and The Heritage Room of the Athens-Clarke County Library. The reports
contained in the finding aid were generated from a database that was
developed as part of the project. The web version was adapted from the
database reports and created with assistance from the
Clarke-Oconee Genealogical Society.
Although
this finding aid is useful in many different ways, perhaps one of the
most exciting aspects is that the estate and guardianship loose records
are indexed and can be accessed by surname or by whole boxes.
One can also see whether the record has been microfilmed and by using the key on the main
page, tell where the microfilm is housed.
The
records that were cataloged are housed at the Clarke County Courthouse
in Athens, GA, but one is advised to make an appointment with the records
clerk (who stays very busy!)
