The Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia books (12 volumes in all) and the Huxford Genealogical Society Quarterly Magazine (35 volumes, 140 issues) contain over 5,500 original genealogical sketches, plus thousands more sketches providing additions and corrections to the original sketches.  All of these sketches concern the pioneers (and their families) of the southeastern Georgia and northern Florida region; i.e., the very first and the early settlers of this region and their descendants.

Using the alphabetical INDEX table above, you will be directed to a listing of all of the sketches.  The listing of sketches identifies the book and/or magazine where the sketch was published.  This listing is provided for you to learn what sketches have been published and to expedite determining the location of the sketches you may need for your research.  You are cordially invited and in fact encouraged to submit sketches for your Wiregrass Georgia ancestors and / or additions and corrections to any of the sketches already published.

If you do not own or do not have access (thru your local library) to the Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia volumes or the back issues of the Huxford Society Quarterly Magazine, you may want to order the individual sketches that you need for your research.

PIONEER PUZZLES  -  Pioneer Puzzles was a feature (column) of the HGSM starting in September 1980 (Volume 7, Issue No. 3).  The Puzzles were identifications of conflicting facts (those inconsistent pieces of data which occasional occur) in the Pioneer Sketches published in the early volumes of the Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia books and in the Huxford Genealogical Society Magazine where a correction had not been published to resolve the conflict.  Each puzzle was numbered in the order presented.  Answers to the Pioneer Puzzles (when and if solved) were published  in the Additions and corrections column in subsequent issues of the HGSM and later in a Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia book.
