Miller Old envelopes and postcards from postal history collections are a source of genealogical information. 1 This paper presents six envelopes from Georgia from with basic genealogical data on the sender and recipient (when available) to introduce the Philatelic Genealogy website and database ( The website was launched in March 2009 to begin building a digital archive of envelope and postcard images with genealogical value and to promote an exchange between postal history collectors and genealogists. The site has grown to more than 1,450 envelopes and postcards. Every item includes a photo [used with the owner s permission] and U.S. census or similar details on the sender and/or addressee. The website at present has 24 envelopes and postcards sent to or from Georgia. While home delivery of mail in large cities began in 1863, envelopes in rural areas were addressed to the nearest post office until after The James R (Jim) Miller is a genealogist and postal historian and is the founder of Philgen.org.

Other envelopes relate to our ancestors political and social interests, work, recreation, and immigrant origins. 21 Many more envelope and postcard photos involving Georgia residents are available. Postal history vendors have given Philgen.org permission to use thousands of photos from their websites and archived philatelic auction catalogs, and most have not yet been placed on Philgen.org. More than 500 involve Georgia during , and these sources are a fraction of available postal history items. Other potential sources are being contacted. At present, genealogists cannot easily locate an envelope or postcard sent or received by their ancestors. Envelopes and postcards for sale and in postal history collections are classified by stamps, cancellations, and other postal markings. The purpose of Philgen.org is to present envelope and postcard photos with details on who wrote and received each item to make them accessible to genealogists. Anyone interested in helping to add Georgia envelopes and postcards to the website, including photos of items used in their genealogical research, is invited to contact the author. Photos and data posted for each item will be credited to the person and/or their genealogical association. 21. For examples of other types of information available from postal history, see James R.
