Just wanting to add that the Library in Albany is a wonderful place!!!!!!! Jeanette Driggers in the Genealogy Room there (downtown Library) is so very knowledgable about all their holdings & is wonderful about helping. I've been to many Libaries over our state of GA while husb was on business & amazing what you can find in even the smallest of Libraries! Memorable, of course is the Washington Memorial Library in Macon - a pure treasure! A really well organized one was the collection in the Library at Statesboro, when Henrietta Royal was there - haven't been since she retired, I think...... but this was when they were even in temporary quarters while the Library was being renovated. Also, the treasure at Moultrie, Ellen Payne Odom Gen. Library - the respository for so many Scots' Clans. The Ladson Gen. Library at Vidalia, GA - don't know if Emily Hartz is still there - but she was a wonder also! Then there's the Huxford Gen. Soc Library in Homerville, GA......with Violet Bennett who was so helpful..... Also a small Library at St Simons, GA as well as the one in Brunswick, GA - the Lib. in Rome, GA, Lib. in little Clarksville, GA & in Tifton, GA - from one end of the state to another....... It is amazing what can be found but for going & looking....... Another pure delight, far more than worth the trip - even tho I don't have lines in ALA, is the Library over in Birmingham, ALA - downtown - it has an absolutely beatiful Gen bldg connected to the main Libaray by a covered "bridge" & parking is easy......is right off the interstate. I've been told that their collections of Quarterlies is one of the largest found...... I would compare it to the quiet, peaceful area in which to work w/the GA Historical Society bldg in Savannah....... I miss those "Family Puzzler's" but am so glad they were still being pub-lished when I started - was like Christmas every week!!!!!! <g> Thanks for giving me a chance to remember all these places so thankfully!
