The gem of the library is that it has been chosen as the repository for the genealogical archives for over 120 Scottish Clan Societies, including Clan Armstrong. A description of the library and a listing of the Clan archives in their holdings can be found at: > > http://www.electricscotland.com/familytree/about_odom.htm > > The library has about 200 Armstrong family genealogies. Also quite a few books on Armstrong genealogy; I thought I had seen most of the books on Armstrong genealogy, but they had several I had never seen before. They also have quite a good collection of books and periodicals. > > The genealogy library was apparently built as an extension of the Moultrie Library through a bequest from a wealthy dowager interested in genealogy. > > Moultrie is located in the middle of nowhere, in Southwest Georgia, about 30 miles north of Thomasville and 30 miles southeast of Albany. > > You probably won't find yourself wandering through there anytime, but if you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, it's definately worth a look.
