Then There Was The Adventure The Story of Alexander Ware 1789-1836 Edward J. Lanham Then There Was The Adventure The Story of Alexander Ware 1789-1836 Introduction “The story of America is of settlers following the sun westward to new opportunities.” Georgia---Mid April, 2013 As spring drifted into summer along the Flint River, the landscape exploded across the Southland into a wreath of greenery. My field research, which I nick-named “GPS- in-hand and boots-on- the-ground”, is on hold until the leaves turn in the fall. It is now time to compile the past 6 months of research and exploration. For the past 24 years, I have lived in a small town in Fayette County, Georgia which was established in 1823 along the famous Indian trail named the “McIntosh Road.” While researching the history and route of this major trail, I eventually, as a past time, devoted 15 years to mapping that trail and others, then overlaying them on to current day topographical and road maps. I learned that the McIntosh Road was named for the Creek Indian Chief, William McIntosh, who widened a segment of a much longer existing trading route into a wagon road. Chief William McIntosh, a half breed Scot-Creek Indian, was raised by his Creek mother. As a young man, he fought with Andrew Jackson and became a brigadier general. He even dined with President Thomas Jefferson at the White House. McIntosh became a wealthy business man and owned hundreds of acres in Georgia and Alabama. His rank of both chief and brigadier general earned him an association with five presidents: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James Madison, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams. -
Computers Vs. Humans: Comparing Outputs of Genealogy Programs
Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs © 2009, Debbie Parker Wayne First publication rights granted to Digital Genealogist, July 2009. All other rights reserved. Computers are very good at handling repetitive, logical tasks—not so good at creativity. Any fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation will remember the trouble Commander Data had with tasks that required feelings or creativity. Even the imaginative minds that created Star Trek: TNG could not imagine computers had advanced so much by the 24th century that an android could rival the creativity of the human mind. There has been an ongoing discussion in the genealogical world about whether genealogy programs can “create” output or reports that meet the creative standards we strive for today—more than a list of begats—an interesting family history with analysis of kinship communities and social context that makes the reader care about the family and want to know more. Some genealogists expect a well-written narrative to be magically spit out by a genealogy program’s report generator. Genealogy databases allow a genealogical summary report to be generated using canned sentences that Sergeant Joe Friday would love—just the facts. The more advanced programs allow customization of the output sentences and source citations to make the narrative more exciting and interesting. Some genealogists think there is no reason for a genealogy program to offer these options. They want only a bare-bones family summary with birth, marriage, and death information. This summary is copied into a word processor where the sentences that flow from the creative juices are then added. -
Georgia Genealogy Research Websites Note: Look for the Genweb and Genealogy Trails of the County in Which Your Ancestor Lived
Genealogy Research in Georgia Early Native Americans in Georgia Native inhabitants of the area that is now Georgia included: *The Apalachee Indians *The Cherokee Indians *The Hitchiti, Oconee and Miccosukee Indians *The Muskogee Creek Indians *The Timucua Indians *The Yamasee and Guale Indians In the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, most of these tribes were forced to cede their land to the U.S. government. The members of the tribes were “removed” to federal reservations in the western U.S. In the late 1830’s, remaining members of the Cherokee tribes were forced to move to Oklahoma in what has become known as the “Trail of Tears.” Read more information about Native Americans of Georgia: http://www.native-languages.org/georgia.htm http://www.ourgeorgiahistory.com/indians/ http://www.aboutnorthgeorgia.com/ang/American_Indians_of_Georgia Some native people remained in hiding in Georgia.
