Katie, I was away from home for a while; got back Monday. The FHC film number for your certificate is: Certificates no. 17201-18425 1906 FHL Film 1323120 There are two ways you can try to get a copy (if that cert. exists): Go online to www.familysearch.org. Go to "Find a Family History Center near your home." Go to that plaace and order the microfilm for rental (about $3.50 for a three week rental). or, at the same website, follow these links: Order/download products, Family history, Family history research products, Research forms, Research logs, 31768000 Request for photocopies, census records, books, microfilm or microfiche. When you get the form, fill it out and sent it directly to the FHL in Salt Lake City (address on the form) with a check or MO for $2. They'll send you a copy from their microfilm master in a couple of weeks. Good luck, Russell On Monday, January 16, 2006, at 07:14 PM, KATIE wrote: > Hi Russell ...

I am trying to find information on Annie Laura and Albert Hadden that attended Bethel Methodist Church near Avera in the early 1900s. I saw their names listed in a church attendance membership book but can not find anyone that has access to the book or knows the family. Some time ago there was a lady living in Wrens and her brother, John Hardin, was cleaning out the house of the preacher of Bethel Church but I can not find her or any information on what happened to the church books. Any help in locating Annie or Alber or the books or the person in Wrens would be very much appreciated. Carolyn

There are at least two Liberty Churches in Richmond County. Here is the information I have. Liberty Baptist Church, 1232 Anderson Ave., Augusta 706-724-3322 Liberty United Methodist Church, 2040 Liberty Church Road, Hephzibah 592-2336 Liz Nash

Re Liberty Methodist Church... If you know the city, go to www.anywho.com and get the address and phone number.
