Friends, Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about the pension files of those Confederate veterans who filed in Banks County. I have since learned that the records are no longer at the courthouse in Homer and in all likelihood have been forwarded to the Archives in Atlanta. It was also suggested to me that I might try the local chapter of the Latter Day Saints. There is such a Mormon chapter here in Athens, and I will explore that avenue more fully. Lastly, there is a Historical Society of Banks County. I've been told that it is in the old courthouse in Homer, but no one seems to know whether or not they have a phone. Does anyone know of a phone number or and email address where this group may be reached? Thanks again for the data, David Lineberger david68@nbank.net www.davidsfamilytree.homestead.com/index.html "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to stand by and do nothing" -Edmund Burke
