From: "Karen T.Ledford" <ktledford@alltel.net> Organization: THESE MEN WORE GREY "http://www.hartcom.net/~scv935/grey" Dear Doris: I do see that I made a MAJOR mistake when I listed my webpage for my books. It should read "http://www.hartcom.net/~scv935/grey" If you could repost that to the lists you sent my story to I would appreciate it. They won't be able to access it with the mistake I made.

I spoke with the Probate Judge and the Court Clerk back in late summer. I can't remember exactly why but letting volunteers come in on week ends and sort the documents was not working out. They, therefore, enlisted the aid of one "expert" lady to do the job. I left with the impression it would be some time before the papers were in any order for viewing, filming, etc. If anyone is interested in calling, the number for the Probate Court Office in Elberton is 706-283-2016. The Court Clerk's name is Susan Sexton. She is quite helpful and a very good genealogist herself. I'm sure she would be willing to give an update.
