Now this is a great work.....don't guess this is located anywhere around Lake Lanier is it? Wishful thinking? Looking for Overby's buried in Forsyth County GA. Whose land, best I understand it is now "under" Lake Lanier.....

Also, would like to know if anyone knows anything about Franklin County GA? I need copies of deeds from there.....is there any place online that I might get these? Desperate.......

Emily Monroe has joined our mail list. She is the lady who alerted us to the
problem there. Here are excerpts from her Email:
-----------------------------------
Friday I met with one of the people in charge of the development and
the
archeologist. We walked the cemetery and they are going to start Wednesday on
a well laid approach to survey for the graves and graveyard boundaries. I
was welcomed to be there to watch and so I shall.
The developer also found a pile of old bricks next to the graveyard under
2 large trees. He and the archeologist were wondering if in fact the church
was there and someone had just dozed the foundation in a pile. They are
under a layer of grass.
So, everything is seems to be going well now and I will keep you
informed on any big developments.
---------------------------------
We want Emily to know that we appreciate her efforts.

I also want to thank Bill Johnson, PR officer of Forsyth County for his
major assistance. I put Mr. Johnson on the accept list so that he can post to
this list if there is any History information he wants to share with us.

AND
A big thank you to all those on the list who responded to the appeal and sent
help and emails to the appropriate people.
