    1. [GAPIKE] Location of genealogical records
    2. Lisa

    3. Can anyone tell me where the best genealogical records (besides census) are for the Pike county/Spalding county. The time frame would be from about 1840-1900. Also, are there any hotels in the area? Without driving back and forth to Macon? Thank you.

    3. I always stayed in Thomaston GA when doing research on my Pryor Family line who lived in Pike and Merriweather Counties...its only a few miles from Pike and has several motels and dining places. Also, Warm Springs is only 5 miles from Merriweather County which is next to Pike Co.

    3. Lisa, There are nice motels and dining establishments close by in Griffin. (Because of its close proximity to the Atlanta Motor Speedway you have a larger choice of motels/prices.) And most of the major eating places are there. http://hotelguides.com/georgia/griffin-ga-hotels.html The Pike County courthouse has many records, including marriage, wills, civil war records, delayed birth certificates, etc., located in the probate court. (Note: the probate court closes everyday from 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch.) The Pike County library has some records but most important, it has microfilm of Pike newspapers (1888 to 19?? - I forget how far they go 50's, 60's, 70's ?) The Thomaston/Upson County archives in Thomaston has a section on Pike County, so you may want to visit there. http://home.windstream.net/tuarch/ The old Spalding newspapers are in the courthouse in Griffin, but I am not familiar with their location there. The Spalding/Griffin Library has an extensive genealogy library. http://doc.frrls.net/ The Georgia State Archives are nearby in Morrow, Georgia. Know that they are only open Thursday through Saturday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. And if you are in Macon, the Washington Memorial Library has one of the greatest genealocigal sections in this part of the state that includes all Georgia counties. http://www.co.bibb.ga.us/library/GH.htm Lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa" <mysticvisions@tampabay.rr.com> To: "'GAGenWeb Archives'" <archives@poppet.org>; <gapike@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 7:01 AM Subject: [GAPIKE] Location of genealogical records > Can anyone tell me where the best genealogical records (besides census) > are > for the Pike county/Spalding county.
