    1. [GAPIKE] New additions to Pike County GenWeb
    2. Barbara Stock
    3. The Pike County GenWeb site now has a partial listing of the 1841 Poor School Records, thanks to Stephanie Bradley. More will be added later, so check back periodically. Also, the Georgia Archives has added digital images of the microfilm index cards for county records on microfilm to their virtual vault. I have a link to the Pike County cards on both the resource page and also on the main page to the Pike County site under New Announcements. This resource is wonderful for planning research trips to the Georgia Archives (and also to the courthouse) and can also be used for citation information for those of us who sometimes return home before realizing we forgot to write down that microfilm number. Those of you who are planning trips to the Georgia Archives should be reminded that the facility is only open to the public now on Fridays and Saturdays 8:30 to 5:00. Check their website for holiday closings. They usually close on Saturdays if a holiday falls on Monday. Make use of the GA Archives Virtual Vault. It is a wonderful resource. For instance, indexed digital images for Georgia Death Certificates are in the Virtual Vault 1919-1927. Unindexed images are also available in the Virtual Vault for those 1928-1930 - it just takes a few extra steps to find them. Also, the archives has the certificates 1931-1935 at the facility in original records but not on the internet. Acquiring them at the archives saves you the $25 fee charged at Vital Records since it is a photocopy (30 cents a page) and not a certified copy. Photocopies are adequate for genealogical purposes.
