A Brief History of Our First Ancestor to Live on American Soil
On June 2nd in the year 1736 a bricklayer named Isaac Young Jr., (b. 1690 d. 1757) his pregnant wife Mary Sarah, and their six children left their homeland of County Antrim, Ireland and set sail for the Province of Georgia on the North American continent. They landed on August 21st and settled in Screven County Georgia a full 40 years before the United States of America became a country. They had their seventh child Isaac Young III a few months after landing and that child was the first of our bloodline born on this continent and from which all of us in our bloodline originated.
If you are a member of the Young family that started with Isaac Young (b. 1660 d. 1692) and would like to see how you came to be, you can do it here on the web site for the Young Family Genealogy Archive. All the work has been done for you. Through years of research done by way of family records, census reports, personal interviews, historic documents and the use of Ancestry.com, our bloodline is now in a very useable form for you. You can look up anyone by name, by place of birth, death or where they lived. If you view the archive via the GenPro format, you can even click on that place and a Google Map utility will bring it up in Google Maps. You can see your family tree, or the family tree of other families that have married into our Young family . It is largely self-explanatory by way of the icons on the upper left part of the screen. There is also a help utility in case you find you cannot navigate your way through this. If you want read about our history in a more readable form, you can choose Twelve Generations. The only drawback for this link is that it is only written about the one male Young for each generation which connects that link to the rest of our bloodline. It does however have a volume of misc. historic documents which tell us about the Young family back then. Especially the Young bloodline from William and Mary (Henderson) Young who had ten children. They were very well established in politics in colonial Georgia and were active not only in Indian wars but in the governing of Georgia around the time of the forming of the United States. Indeed, William was very involved in leading Georgia in an uprising to beat back the British from controlling them on this side of the Atlantic. This website is a collaborative effort. I have been working on my end at getting this far for about seven years. Cousin Troy Young brought his research to the table which was larger than mine. We combined them into what you see on these pages. One final note on contributions. My son Nicolas Michael Young worked with me on the design of many of the pages and utilities that are now a permanent part of this site. Enjoy your browsing through our history that began in County Antrim, Ireland back in the 1600's all the way through the present.

In this column there are many different ways to help you with your research on this Young bloodline. When I say this bloodline, I mean the one that began with Isaac Young back in the early 1600s in Belfast, County Antrim, North Ireland. Below this you will find completed pedigree lines such as the one in the Complete Genealogy Reporter Format. (This particular link will bring up the report based upon the relationship using Joe M Young as the starting point) You will find historical documents, excerpts from books which reference our Young ancestors. There are many images of censuses that have been scanned from the originals. Some of those go back to the late 1700s. You can also run down the same family blood but a different branch which you will find by opening Troy Young's genealogy report. Troy Young who is my cousin helped me fill in a lot of missing data from branches of ancestors where I had no information.

Listed below this text are some resources which may be helpful to you. I am only listing the free resources because everyone knows about Ancestry.com. It is an excellent place for your research. Indeed I got probably 75% of what I have through Ancesty.com. But since they are well advertised, I see no need to include them in this list. You may have heard of some of these and maybe you didn't dig deep enough and crossed them off your list. I did that with some sites before but wound up back there and found new resources. If you have any good free resources that you have found and that are not on this list, please use the Contact link at the bottom of the page to let me know they are and the Internet address for them. Happy researching.
