The Georgia Black Book: Morbid, Macabre, & sometimes disgusting records of genealogical value.
It is research based on court rulings, prison records, insane asylum records and various other crimes and felons. Volume II has: Genealogical sources relating to felons, felony victoms, etcs Divorces in Acts of the legislature (1793-1868) Names changed in legislative acts of the legislature 1800-1856 Ga defaulters of the federal direct tax of 1812 Ga widows and orphans of war of 1812 Ga state insane asylum inmates 1842-1853 Ga civil war depredations and state troops' courts-martial Artificial limbs for ga veterans 1866-1867 reports of racial violence 1868-1871 Widows and orphans of the civil war and the Ga masonic orphans home lottery, 1870-1876 some names in State prisoner redcords 1877-1886 1880 census of the GA insane asylum Pardon & parole files 1858-1942. This book is really a source on where to look for records - it does not contain the records themselves for the most parts. Some are detailed, most are just indexes to the records that they are discussing. So if you found your ancestors name in the prisoner records section, for instance, it would tell you where to go to find the records, but no details about what they contain. There is a short summary at the beginning of each section as to what types of info you could expect to find. Sharon Garner"Helpful to Taylor County Research
