(A unknown person). Hopefully the film presently on order from FHC will contain these pages which were part of the WPA project. Note of explanation: The Langford names is spelled with a G or K or both in some documents. Edmond and Edmund are the equivalent to Edward and in family are used interchangeably. I do not have a wife for Edmund nor parents or birthplace. After about seven years this is all I have been able to find on him in Georgia. I simply cannot afford the fees of the Georgia Archives. I certainly would appreciate anyone with books on Georgia (Baldwin and Liberty Cos.) to check the index for my missing family. Georgia has tons of material but it is not in our library in Dallas. Thanks to all and to Virginia for all her work on the Baldwin County page and other Georgia sites.
