When searching for ancestors, you often have to know what county they lived in, in order to search the correct census, court house or archive. It also helps to have alternative places when you hit a brick wall. If you're having trouble figuring out which county your county was created from and when, check out the Georgia Formation Maps at FamilyHistory101.com. It's a pretty neat slideshow that could help Georgia researchers quite a lot.

Ah, I love those county formation slideshows. And the state with the most counties? My "home" state, Texas, with 254. My ancestors, however, seemed to stick with about a half dozen of those counties.
