I am wondering where to find ship lists for the last 1800 and early 1900 for Savannah, Georgia. One of my great grandfathers brothers came to the US from England and it listed his port as Savannah. Does anyone have any idea where I can start to locate a manifest and ship name. Thanks Jennifer

I am inquiring about a possible birth of a Lillian Avaline RUSSELL born around 1880 in Chatham Co. Georgia. I have no other information on family names, except that she married a Robert Roland EVANS, don't know what year. She died in 1916, I think of TB. If anyone has any information on this person, I would appreciate it. She was my paternal grandmother and I have no family history. Thanks to anyone who might have some information and are willing to share it.

I am looking for information on the evacuation of refugees from Savannah by Sherman after it was captured in December 1864. My g-g grandmother Sarah WIGGINS and her children were sent from Savannah by steamer to New York City. They had traveled with Sherman's army from Emanuel County. They may have traveled to New York aboard the steamer "Rebecca Clyde" that brought relief supplies donated by the citizens of New York.
Any info would be appreciated.

I am trying to gather information about my father, John WILDER, Sr. He was a black male born in Black Creek Statesboro, Bullouch County, Georgia, He had about eleven brothers and sisters James,Talmadge, Willie, Samuel, Priest, Grant, Ellen, Pinkie, Lucille and two brothers I can't remember. They were all brick laborers, plumbers and carpenters by trade. My father was killed in Garden City in a house fire that was supposedly an accident. Now I am told that it was not. He lived in Savannah and worked in the surrounding area. My mother said that there was several articles on his death because he was remodling the home of a prominent white citizen who had questionable ties with corrupt people of that era. Can you please help me put this to rest? He died in October of 1967 or 68. He was also a hog farmer who had several stories in the Savannah Morning News of his hogs always escaping while in route to farmers market. He was married to my mother Mary lou THOMAS of Statesbora, Ga. Please help.

I'm working on a research paper about the famous Irish soda bottler John RYAN of Savannah. No pictures of him have surfaced. Looking for pictures, genealogy, or information on John RYAN. RYAN was in business at two locations from 1852-1879. Has anyone seen pics of his business at Bay and East Broad or the Downing Mansion on Broughton Street? RYAN died in 1885 and his funeral was at the St. John the Baptist Church but do not know where he was buried. Any help with the questions would be greatly appreciated.
