Piedmont Driving Club

The Piedmont Driving Club was founded in 1887 in Atlanta as a private social club with two club houses. Over the years it gained the reputation of being one of the most prestigious private clubs in the South. Originally its membership was for gentlemen only. Members could drive their horses and carries onto the club grounds on Piedmont Avenue. The club used its adjacent grounds as a golf course until 1904 when it sold the land to the City of Atlanta to create Piedmont Park.

Wills are important to Genealogy Researchers

Ideally. we should locate a copy of our ancestor's original last will and testament to see what he had to say That is, who got the homeplace or plantation, where it was located, and the inventory taken of the estate. However, most old originals are lost. Therefore, we have to rely upon the clerk's (of the county where the will was probated) entry of the will in his own handwriting. The wills for the State of Georgia are being digitized and put online at Georgia Pioneers To see what each county has available, click on one of the counties on the left hand side of the page. Also, Virginia Pioneers is adding digital copies of old wills.
