Index to the 1830 Census of Georgia

This volume contains the names of 52000 Georgia heads of household giving for each the county of residence and page number in the census where his name appears. Individuals are indexed alphabetically by surname. A particularly interesting feature of the book is the method of dealing with variant spellings: all names of like sound are grouped together the variants being arranged in order of the most frequently used spelling so the researcher is unlikely to miss a name through oversight or carelessness. The compiler of the book moreover was a nationally known figure in federal administration programs and a Certified Genealogist.
