go local.

Besides using online websites, don't overlook your own local genealogical resources.  We are fortunate to have the libraries of the Augusta Genealogical Society, the Georgia Heritage and Genealogy Room, and the Old Edgefield District Genealogical Society located in the CSRA.   Even if you don't have family in this region, they probably have resources and records and knowledgeable staff that could help you connect your generations.

It also subscribes to a variety of online databases.
