Comments and Reviews

• “Mrs. Clark has done one of the best and most complete reconstructions of records of a burned county that I have personally seen. This is a book that should be in every library for a really true ‘working tool’ on a burned Georgia county. This book should be on inspection for people from other ‘burned Counties’ in Georgia and in other states.” Emmett Lucas, Jr. Editor, Georgia Genealogical Magazine, Winter/Spring, 1989.

• “Twiggs County Georgia Abstracts” is a compilation of various records either owned by the author or gleaned from various places. Included are deeds, census and cemetery records, newspaper information and private documents. While the book is not going to take the place of the lost records, it can certainly help.
  Kenneth H. Thomas, Jr., The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, July 31, 1988.

• In this scholarly book, Mrs. Clark has used tax digests, Georgia Land Lottery records, Bible records, deeds and records from other Georgia counties relating to Twiggs County, . . . And much more to help fill the void of a “burned” County. . . . This is the kind of hard work that provides vital links to the Colonial Period . . .. Without such works, one “cannot get from here to there,” a lament often heard concerning “burned” Counties. Neoma O’Kelley O’Brien, National President, Daughters of Colonial Wars, The Tudor Rose Councillor, September 1999.

• Mrs. Clark has painstakingly collected many personal family records, abstracts of family Bibles, cemetery records, deeds, newspaper articles and other documents; all are referenced and documented as to source. Elizabeth E. Ross, The North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal, February 1989, Volume XV, No. 1.

• This excellent volume contains abstracts of all types of records found in newspapers and records pertaining to Revolutionary War soldiers; a substitute for the “missing” U.S. Census of 1820, which the compiler reconstructed to derive a valuable record of the period. Marie DeLamar, The Albany Sunday Herald, November 20, 1988.

• Where do you go to replace records lost in a 1901 courthouse fire? Mrs. Clark answers the question by gathering documents and local history from varied sources. Mary Bondurant Warren, Family Puzzlers, August 22, 1991, Number 1192.
