Coweta County Genealogical Society

Coweta County Genealogical Society The Coweta County Genealogical Library is open to the public free of charge. We do ask for donations to help with "keeping the door open".

As a non-profit organization, the Coweta County Genealogical Society of Georgia is dedicated to the researching, recording and preservation of historical and genealogical records for present day and future historians and genealogical researchers. The volunteers will assist you in getting started with your research by giving you possible places or sources on where you may go to check out information. We will do some general lookup information to help you, but we do not research your tree for you. If you come into the library you will be able to look at the different collections we have: books, magazines from other societies (in state and out of state), some microfilm and some newspapers. Our book collection includes family histories, Bibles and different state and county information. If you are not from Coweta County or even Georgia, you may find information in some of our out of state collections. If you have more questions please contact us at info@ccgsinc.org

Can you help?

Recently Mr. Ted Brooke brought a copy of this class photo from the 5th Grade Class at Atkinson Grammar School, circa 1920. He asked if we could crowd source our members to see if they can help identify more of the students.

We know for sure who 5 of them are!

Theodore "Theo" Brooke is 3rd row from bottom, 6 from left
Clanton Reese is 4th row from bottom, 6 from left
Ed Wilkerson is 1st row from bottom, 5th from left
Henry Stozier is 1st row from bottom, 7th from left
James Brittian? is 1st row from bottom, 6th from left

BUT, I did some additional research...there are several articles in the Newnan Hearld that list those kids who achieved high grades. From these lists I was able to add the following names to this class of 5th graders:
Teacher- Ms. Elaine Lord
Willie Mae Holt
Samuel Banks
Ernest Thompson
Sara Vickers Bailey
Margeret McRichie
James Beers
Mary Blalock
Elmo Causey
Cecil Hurst
Geneva Tate
Pallie Burke
Birdus Alford
Chalmers McClellen

Knowing this information...who can help me finish labeling this photo! What a treasure to have and what an amazing thing it will be to give a name to these faces!

Please share! The more of you that see it...the more chances we have of naming everyone!

It’s funny. But it’s also true. You must document your sources. A family tree without proper source documentation is nothing more than family lore!
