Georgia History & Genealogy Room
The Doris Coulter Hetzler
Memorial Georgia History & Genealogy Room houses a special collection
of books, microfilm, files, and other materials needed for genealogical and
historical research. Although the collection focuses on Georgia (primarily
Northwest Georgia), other states are represented. Adjoining states and migration
route states are of interest to our researchers. The Walker County Historical
Society collection is in our Georgia Room, plus local organizations and
individuals donate materials. Jill Trubey manages the Georgia History and Genealogy Room.
If you would be interested in participating in digging up some family history,
let Jill know.
You may call 706-638-4912 for more information.
Queries and Services
Our Family Files have information on
the families of our area. You are invited to add to this file with your own
research.
The Query Index, a 3" x 5"
card file, is alphabetical by the ancestor's name, with name and address of the
researcher. If you would like to add to this file, supply ancestor's name, date
and place of birth, death, and marriage, and spouse's name (or whatever of
these is known), your name and address.
Our Library will answer simple
queries through the mail. Please make requests by mail or e-mail, not by phone. The fee for 30 minutes research is $5.00 (to the
Cherokee Regional Library). Unfortunately, we are not equipped to answer
queries on Native American ancestry at this time. Photocopies are 25 cents
each, from paper or 50 cents from microfilm.
