Looking for Great Great Grandfather's Parents
Looking for the Great Great Grandparent's of George W Key: GHV6-CYL.
His wife is Emiline and we are sure that they are born in Georgia, according to Census Records. We have already checked public trees in Ancestry.
Any help that could be given would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Besides public Ancestry trees, where else have you looked? No reason to duplicate your efforts?
Were they slaves? Have you looked at Freedman Bureau records? Do you know who "owned" them?

Hi, thanks for contacting me. I am new to this and have been getting help from the kind people at the LA Mormon Temple office. The woman who was helping me last told me to reach out to the community. But I really don't know what searches she did. I will try to find out today, if the office is open, or tomorrow.
Thanks, Melanie

Sounds like you visited a FamilySearch Center in Los Angeles. Glad they were able to help you get started. Welcome!
Since you're new to genealogy/Family History, I'd actually suggest you start looking at/for records of people closer to you and then move you way backwards. You'll learn some things about the family and how to research. So, take your grandparents and look at the records that are already attached to them. Are there birth, marriage, census, death records missing? Can you find them and attach them? Then move back a generation and do it again.
