I spoke to a very helpful woman at the Pike Co., GA probate court who gave me the following information: The first several marriage books are by year: 1823 - 1831 1832 - 1840 1841 - 1855 1855 - 1872 1872 - 1883 Then they use "Alpha" Book A = 1883 - 1890 Book B = 1891 - 1900 Book C = 1901 - 1911 Book D = 1912 - 1940 Valerie Johnson Freeman Tustin, California "Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: they hide . . .
