Does anyone have access to Mrs. Barlow's History of Harris County? I went to the Harris County Library yesterday to see if they would know who would have for sale a History Book of Harris County . I thought the Court House or Chambers of Commerces might have a book for sale. I just bought a beautiful History of Talbot County for $21.50. The lady told me, in the Library, they stop making the Harris County Book because it cost a $135 to purchase but I was welcome to read and copy from the Harris County History Book that they had. Talbot County Library carries other County History Books other than their own. They even carries books on Columbus, Georgia. I looked thru the maps in a small box, they had a few Counties maps, but didn't have one of Harris County in the Genealogy Room. The lady in the Library worked almost thirty minutes trying to make me a map so I could see the Harris County area, from a map she had under her desk. I had the same map I had bought from Harris County Court House. I had left it at home and was up in Harris County. It took her almost thirty minutes to piece meal her map so we could see the North-East side of Harris County. A few of the Counties in the Genealogy Room showed the whole map of their County. ...But anyway we walked out with what we needed. With Harris County having so much to offer, I just wish the Genealogy Room would cover the County as to show you what is in the area. Those in Genealogy are going back further with the Georgia Land Lotteries and are having to depend on the Harris County Genealogy Group to supply the infomation like other Counties are covering their. I would like to purchase a book Mrs Barlow are another Harris County Book. I can't afford a arm and a leg, I am trying to buy History Books on all the surrounding areas like, Talbot, Harris, Coweta and others. Harris County Library only had one other County Book besides the one Harris County Book. Harris County is a good size County, I would have thought their Genealogy Room would have been larger with more information. There was just bits and pieces. The Library is so big and Beautiful and the new Computors and the ladies who work there with knowledge to help you and they are willing. I would have thought the Harris County Genealogy group would have added more to the Genealogy Departments by buying other Counties History Books. Talbot County has Harris County books in their Library. They have several rows of Genealogy books, Columbus carries Harris County Books. I was just wandering why Harris County doesn't support their surrounding Counties that borders them by purchasing their Counties History Books. I love working in Harris County, I only want to see Genealogy more active in the area so we can visit Harris County, and rake thru their History , as we share our History Genealogy Rooms with them. If you have a book on the History of Harris County, will you please let me know.? I will be more than glad to offer any information I've research an found on Harris County . My gr gr grandpapa Rev. Green Berry Waldrop has bought me right in the middle of Harris County, Georgia. He also help constituted many Baptist Chruches he was also on the Presbytery and Georgia Baptist Association during 1827-1840. I have information on Churches in Harris County, that might help someone looking for their Baptist ancestors. The name of the game in Genealogy is sharing. I don't understand how Harris County can be so rich in History and the yet the Harris County List is so quite and not active. Thanks for listening. Sandra maiden name Waldrop Muscogee County, Georgia
