Brunswick, GA: Reagin Publishing Company, 2000. First Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/None Issued. F/0/1st. Ed. /Signed. It has been more than forty years since the last compilation of the cemetery records of McIntosh County was issued. The Cemetery Records of McIntosh County, Georgia, compiled in 1958 by Mrs. Evie White, unfortunately has proved to be only of marginal use as a reference for genealogists and other researches, as it does not include all of the white cemeteries of the county, nor does it include any of the African-American cemeteries.

The present effort includes all McIntosh County cemeteries, black and white, with recorded burials dating from colonial times to the present. Book Condition is Fine; green buckram over boards with gold lettering to front and spine. 393pp. First… Leer más
