Hello! I am the Whitfield County coordinator for The GAGenWeb Project. My name is Trish Elliott-Kashima and I hope to bring lots of new information to our website. I do not live in Whitfield County, but have family that lived there. All comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Please help by donating information and records to this site.   If there is anything you have donated here in the past that is no longer found, please resend it and I will post it again.  Send information to me here.

The site is re-indexed every Sunday afternoon.  If you see that I have uploaded new information before Sunday afternoon, try using "control f" as a search tool for the page you are interested in, on that specific page.

Whitfield County was named for Rev. George Whitefield (1714-1770), who was an early settler in Georgia. He was a founder of Bethesda House in Savannah, which is the oldest extant charity in North America, founded in 1739. He was also a founder of Methodism. The spelling of Whitfield County's name was changed to reflect the way it was pronounced.  Whitfield County was formed December 30,1851 from Murray County, Georgia.

Rev George Whitefield
