Saying that they are available simply means that they exist....that they ARE! It has nothing to do with WHERE they are. Call your local library, and ask the librarian if they have a genealogical dept...then, if they do, inquire if they have the census. The Family History Centers at the Latter Day Saints have census...what they don't have they will order for you, although they usually stock local data. Seeing as how you're local, get on the phone! Start calling around! This Baldwin co list is the most amazing list I've ever been on; the only one where there seem to more local folks than "out of staters"....I can't imagine, really, why you're on it, to tell the truth, when you actually LIVE there, and you have the facilities, the courthouse, the gen. societies, etc at your fingertips! The rest of us would give anything to have what you do, in your own front yard!

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin?read=116 Surname: RIVERS, RENEAU, STOCKTON ------------------------- I am looking for information on a Winfield M. RIVERS (1824-1905) that was the second husband of Mary Jane DANIEL NEE RENEAU. I know Mary Jane DANIEL, widow of Robert Williams DANIEL (1810-1865) of Bethany, Jefferson County, GA married Winfield M. RIVERS sometime after R. W. DANIEL'S death 1865 and lived for a time possibly in Glen Rose, Somervell, TX before returning to Madison, Morgan County, GA ca 1892. According to my sources Winfield M. RIVERS is buried in Milledgeville, Baldwin County, GA. Any information is appreciated.

They are probably on film at the LDS....do a library search on the silver CD of the library holdings in Salt Lake, and see what years they have filmed. I know there are a bunch, for I've rented some myself...just don't remember the years.
