I am so grateful to Joyce for taking the trouble to make a listing of all the books and microfilm on Twiggs County available in the Washington Memorial Library in Macon. This is one of the BEST research libraries in that area, and I'm sure you'll want to visit it whenever you make a trip to Twiggs County. Joyce was so thorough as she included whether the book was indexed and as much information as possible. >Reply-To: "James O. Harrison" <gajoyce.1179@worldnet.att.net> >From: "James O.
