Through my years
of researching Glynn County, I have been given personal family papers of
various families to use on this website. I have not received any
from the Cate family [her direct descendants], but I have from other families
related to her by her mother. This family had many of her documents,
copies of her own records, contained in their attic. One of Ms.
Cate's most informative writings was the book titled "Our Todays &
Yesterdays, A Story of Brunswick and the Coastal Islands" which was
originally published in 1926, and later reprinted in 1930. This book
is one of only two Glynn County histories ever written.
The family charts ARE NOT meant for
computer printing, they are too large. The best thing to do is save
them to a disc, and have a print shop print them for you. These
charts are copies that Ms. Cate gave to the Burney family, who donated
them for this site.
The article on "Gascoigne Bluff" was also
found in the Burney family collection, and was found out by me to have
been later published in a magazine after her death. Hopefully no
copyright has been violated, as this document was a copy of the
typescript, not of the published article.
"Early Days of Coastal Georgia" is most
likely still under copyright as there were two authors. However, I
will put online a synopsis of the book, a list of photos, and possibly the
index for lookup purposes.
I am in the process of requesting
permission to put an index online of Ms. Cate's personal research files
that was compiled by the Georgia Department of Archives in conjunction
with the Fort Frederica Association.
Many local researchers do not realize that
the majority of her research material is available on microfilm at our
public library. This index can be found in the library as well. |
