The first [[Portal:Georgia (state)|Georgia]] newspaper was the Georgia Gazette published in Savannah beginning in 1763. The Family History Library has very few newspapers for the state. The library has a collection of Savannah papers, 1793 to 1880, and a number of published indexes of newspaper obituaries and marriage announcements. A typical book of newspaper abstracts is Mary McKeown Overby, ''Obituaries Published by "The Christian Index," 1822-1899'' (Macon, Georgia: Georgia Baptist Historical Society, 1975, 1982; FHL book 975.8 V4o).
