> I've been researching the Blacks for a few years now. My line (in Mass
and Maine) came from Ireland. It has been my experience when helping out
others researching the Blacks down south, they have emigrated from Ireland
and Scotland, some England. Also, Germany..in these cases, the name was
originally something like "Blach" and Americanized to Black. Your family in
Georgia could be from any one of these places. The easiest way to find out,
depending on the time period, it to check the early censuses, In certain
years, they list the place of birth for the individual, plus their parents,
year of immigration. Good luck
