The First Families Project
Cobb County, GA

 


This is an on-going project to research and publish information on the first families of Cobb County, Georgia. Today this metropolitan area is the thriving northeast suburb of Atlanta with a population of 800,000.

This project focuses on the families who were in the area prior to 1840. Before the year 1832, Cobb County was a part of Cherokee County, which then included a very extensive territory in the upper part of the State.

We have identified 184 surnames (with about a dozen more variations in spellings) making up the 270 families and the 2,000 people living in Cobb County, GA in 1834.

This CDROM contains surname folders on all of these surnames. Some have just a few pages and others contain hundreds. Not all of the notes have connections to Cobb County, but the information is designed to help you research your family both before and after the family was in Cobb County.
