Any Georges out there?
I’m descended from the George family of Loudoun County Virginia. (believed to be of German descent, formerly “Georg”) I’ve done ancestry.com and the LDS. Even gone to the geneology library, but everything gets really vague before the late 1700′s, early 1800′s, when they got better at keeping church records. Any time I google “John George”, it thinks George is the middle name. Further complicating things, is there is a seperate George Family, English, down state, that has alot of stuff online.
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
has 70 entries with
Surname = George
Birthplace = Loudoun
You might to some of the owners of the better-looking data bases and ask what they use for sources. Hitting a dead end in the late 1700′s / early 1800′s is pretty common. Lots of people don’t get back before 1850, unless they meet a cousin who has spent years digging through tax records, church records, wills and land records, by hand.

It contains additional detail on many records, a new chapter introducing early English research (before 1730), and a greatly expanded bibliography.For every type of record — civil registration, census, church records, probate, occupation, and local administration — there are clear explanations of availability and access. Each chapter concludes with a step-by-step summary |

Henry Burkhardt and Lds Realpolitik in Communist East Germany (Paperback) $42.16 When the Soviet army occupied eastern Germany at the end of World War II, more than 6,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fell under the control of the totalitarian and openly atheistic regime of the German Democratic Republic. Due to the relative isolation of the LDS Church in East Germany, a young missionary, Henry Burkhardt, became the official repre­sentative of the church to the communist government, a position that lasted for 40 years. Told largely through original documents and interviews, Henry Burkhardt is a documentary biography that contains two stories: Burkhardt’s life story and a case study of church-state relations in the GDR.After two decades of government efforts to curtail the LDS Church, Burkhardt became the foundation upon which church lead­ers in the United States would eventually build an improved relationship with the government. Despite the improved relationship with key government offices, Burkhardt was viewed negatively by the Stasi, who watched and reported his every movement. Kuehne uses Burkhardt’s Stasi file to present an interesting contrast to the accounts of a working church-state relationship that saw the construction of the only LDS temple ever built in a communist country.   |
