Email me if you have problems with, or comments about the website, or if you'd like to contribute. For queries, please use the Query Board & I'll reply if I can help. As much as I'd love to assist everyone with their research, I'm unable to help because I don't live in or near Clayton county.

Important Search Notes:
* Some of the census files are NOT searched with this search engine. Please check the census index.
* Be creative when entering a surname and don't rely entirely on the search engine. Many of the records on this website should be browsed.
* Enter names between "quotes" and try both "John Doe" and "Doe John" if a surname search results in too many results.

* The four boards (Query, Obituary, Biography & Document) also have search engines, be sure to check them too!
