I would like to reccommend the Troup County Archives. They will do brief ( 30 minutes) look-ups for free. They will do Troup county and Northwest Georgia, if I am not mistaken. Meriwether county is right next door to Troup, so they might very well have info on Meriwether Co. residents. I recently wrote them and inquired about obituaries on my great-grandparents and great-great grandmother, and received a wealth of information in return. Here is the url. http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/archives/tcarchiv.htm or you can get there the long ways by going to http://www.lagrangenews.com and hitting history, then archives. best of luck in your searches.
