Abstract:
Noted in the introduction, "the article is a much needed lesson for genealogists, who view cemeteries as reflections of a broader social and cultural context as well as sources of names and dates. As New England has long been a supplier of stone for North Carolina grave markers, so the Northern studies offer models which could be emulated to enlarge our understanding of southern culture."

Abstract:
Based on available information, it is likely in the period 1773-1840 that more families from North Carolina moved directly to Georgia than from any other state, even South Carolina. Most of the newcomers came to take advantage of Indian land cessions. As a result, the record of Georgia have tremendous value with regard to North Carolina family research. The author of this article has published several sources on the subject and explains methods for doing North Carolina related research in Georgia.
