Wm & Nina Get Married
(From the GA Archives, Lincoln County Marriage Book K(5) (White), 1890-1904, Lincoln Co. GA)
Since I've found Wm & Nina's obituaries, I've been working on the Albea family - which is one of my brick walls. I want to send for death certs for the sister of his that I've found, as well as for a man's who might be his brother.
But, I'm still waiting on four obits to come back that I sent for a month ago from another family line (not an unusual wait). I wonder if there's only one person in the Atlanta Office who copies death cert requests? They probably recognize my address by now.

New Links, Obits, and Clues
Thanks to Saturday Night Genealogy fun over at Genea-Musings, Greta's Genealogy Blog posted a list of her top genealogy sites, which included the Greenville SC Library Obituary Index. I haven't been to this website in years and was unaware of this index. I have a good amount of family in this area and was excited to hear about this.
I searched for surname, Albea, and up came my results. There were 7 results, 6 of which I knew were part of my family tree. The index provided me with their name, obituary publication date, and page number. But I don't live in Greenville and don't have access to the Greenville News microfilm. However, a quick search on RAoGK showed that there are quite a few researchers doing obit lookups in the county. I picked one and sent them the information I'd found. Within 24 hours (so fast!) I had the three obituaries that I had requested.
I was very excited about one in particular, for William A. Albea. William is one of my brick walls. I have some suspicions on who his parents are, but no proof. Thanks to his obituary, I now know the names of three of his siblings that I hadn't known before! Hopefully this will prove helpful in my research.
