Since records are not available from orphanages or state institutions, this database is a collection of orphans discovered
in various records of those children who were placed in either private or public homes. Most cities or towns had
some sort of benevolent home. We know this because of notices as to Christmas gifts and other charitiable contributions
which are taken to such homes. The following lists includes some of those discovered sources and may be viewed on the www.georgiapioneers.com
site.
Georgia Pioneers was developed by Jeannette Holland Austin to share information
preserved over a 40-year period. It contains traced genealogies, probate records, confederate deaths,
revolutionary war pensions, cemeteries, obituaries, marriages, census, cherokees, births,
school graduates, etc.
