http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/as/gp.htm In my excitement at finding such good information, I posted the incorrect address. This one is correct. Also if you are interested in Georgia records and research hints, follow the pointers to publications. They have a good selection of for sale and free if envelopes are mailed with the request.

I was nosing around the Gerogia Secretary of State's home page and found a site with good information and tips for self publishing books on history and family histroy. Here is the site http://www.amexmail.com/tpl/Door/610YBVYON/Welcome. The Georgia state Archives also sells a book which is the expanded version of the web page. Deborah Byrd

Pat, Ceya, et al I was in Abbeville in Sept last year. NO PHOTOCOPYING whatsoever. I took my laptop in and extracted records onto my word processor.... ...FYI.... Jeffrey

Ceya, This book is at the Houston-Love library in Dothan. Call # 929.3761 HAG. It doesn't give any more information other than what I've copied. Wish it did. It also doesn't explain where the information came from other than the state legislature. I assume since some husbands names are first..others wife's name first...that the person listed first filed for the divorce. Don't know for sure. ***************** I would also like to know if the Abbeville courthouse will make copies of these records. Patricia Long Dothan, Alabama

To: Patricia Long Re: Divorces in Henry County, Alabama 1818-1868 Patricia. Is this book in each courthouse or did you copy these from a book in the Alabama Archives. Where can you get details of the divorce? Does anyone know if the Henry County, Alabama Courthouse will still let you photocopy things. The last I heard they were denying all requests?

I am posting this to warn others about problems with Census Microfilm Expeditors . I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it ( dumb on my part ) .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin
