*HI ALL: For those who may not be familiar with the FHC ...Family History Cntr, you can look up names by SURNAMES, and see alot of family info on them, whatever people have submitted. This would be on the IGI & ANCESTRAL FILE. (All you oldtime Genealogy people already know all this, so don't bother reading this, it's just for newbies!) So go to the FHC and ask them to show you how to look up your Surnames you are working on - on the IGI and ANCESTRAL FILE. You can also order CENSUS RECORDS, MILITARY RECORDS, ETC, on the FHLC - search by SUBJECT, NAME, LOCALITY. Oh yes, this can also be done (much of it) online now at www.familysearch.org They are putting the info online, and much of it is there now....but not all. But still worth checking, because there are MILLIONS of names online now! I would suggest when you go to this site, click on the upper right hand corner you will see the words "CUSTOM SEARCH", start with that...then just type in your name in the box, and you're on your way! Besides IGI & ANCESTRAL FILE, you will want to look up your area of the country/state/county, using the FHLC (Family Hist. Lib.Catalog). You can narrow it down to city, county and/orstate.....But if you don't find much of anything doing it that way (city or county), go back and do it by STATE, and you may find something that way on the longer listing, for the county of interest. Be sure to ask if they have a card catalog or list of FILMS & FICHE they are keeping at the FHC (listed by State)---you may find they have some already there that will be of help to you, then you won't have to pay for them! If you see a film in the FHC that someone else ordered and is due to go back soon, YOU CAN 'REORDER' it under your name, and it will stay there! I realize most of you on this list are old hands at this; but if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me....or others on the list. I'm sure there are MANY here who are as knowledgeable abt genealogy and the FHC as I am! I work in the FHC every Thurs. nite, so I've had alot of time to get familiar with it (years!) --- BTW, if I was going to do a LOOKUP for you at the FHC and haven't, pls. forgive me. I was sick for a while with bronchitis and felt horrible and didn't go to FHC; but I'm back! Will try to catch up on LOOKUPS asap. Have fun! *TINA/CA* List Mgr.

*HI ALL: As promised, here are some of the WLKNSN CO. resources you can order from SLC, thru your local FHC. I mostly picked out microFICHE because they are so inexpensive...ALL FICHE #'s begin with the number "6". All FILMS start with other numbers, so that's how you will know if it's a Film or Fiche. Again, Fiche cost only 15 cents per sheet/fiche -- and most books, for instance, can fit on only 3-5 fiche/sheets. Once at y our local FHC, they stay there for good ("indefinitely"). Films cost $3.75 to order, take a week or to to get there, and stay there for you and others to view, for 5 weeks (BUT IF you need it there longer, you can renew it and keep it there). This is not the ENTIRE list of what's available thru SLC on WILKINSON CO., but a good start! SLC has TONS of stuff on every state, every county, every subject!! (You can find all this, and much more, on the FHLC - "Family History Library Catalog" at your local FHC). ***** ON FICHE: 1860 Census...6105158 - (2 fiche= 30 cents!) * This would be excellent to order! Wlknsn Co.GA Hist.Collections, by J.T.Maddox...6048838 (9) (also excellent!) GA Cemeteries...6100651 (1) *** ON FILM: Misc.GA Deeds 1835-1865...Film #0262733, Item 3 (Item# is impt. when ordering!) (You can look on the [Description of this film at the FHC, just type in the Film#, and it gives TONS of names of people who are in these deeds, incl. my WM. WYNN] Wills & Cemeteries, 1817-1920...#1036239, Item 1 Marriage Recs., 1821-1941.... Marr. Licenses - 1823-1929...#1749659, Item 3 " " , v.3, A-C 1821-1828, 1865-1903....#1737805 " " v. D-E (that's what it says!) 1904-1941...1737806, Item 1-2 (if confused abt this, you can look at it at the FHC) Early Recs. of Wlknsn co. GA by Harold Heard (Marr. & Probate Recs. from publ. County Histories) #0873814, Item 3 Wlknsn Co.Marr. Recs., 1820-1882, Frances T. Ingmire [This is a book, dont think you can order books anymore...they used to put them on Fiche for us, but pretty sure they don't anymore--ask at FHC if interested, but pretty sure they don't.] Land Lottery, Wilknsn & Baldwin Cos. 1807-1808...#0465063, Item 4 Land Lottery Grants, 1805-1860 (on 7 reels of film)-includes INDEX (yeah!) [This shows "District #s, which you prob. wouldnt know which Dist. your ancestor was in....you'd almost have to look at this at FHC to know which to order...it also goes by YEARS]... The years overlap....so I'd suggest first ordering the DIST. 1-28 INDEX 1807-1828....#0514017 (that will prob. show you which Dist.) Gold & Land Lottery Register 1832...054018 Tombstone Recs: Polar Sprgs Cem, Toombsboro, Myrtle Sprgs, Ebenezer Church Cemeteries, near toombsboro; Raniah & Snow Hill Cems., near Gordon. #0007091, Item 13 Wlknsn Co. Cem.Recs. - Contents contains records of family cem.records of: Gilbert, Jackson, Kinney families - ...#0182825, Item 18-21 ****** ALSO AT MY LOCAL FHC, are the following resources on FICHE that were ordered (mostly by me! They are now at my FHC indefinitely. You can do the same! You can also look at your local FHC and ask to look at the List of all the Fiche they have there on GA): WILKES CO. MARRIAGES, LAND LOTTERY OF GA, 37,000 EARLY GA MARR., INDEX TO GA WILLS, INDEX TO SOME EARLY TX DIGESTS OF GA, CEM. RECS. OF GA, HISTORY OF LAURENS CO.GA, EARLY GA MARR. ROUNDUP, 40,000 EARLY GA MARR., DEATH OF REV WAR SOLD DIED GA, AND THEIR WIDOOWS, WILKES CO. 1860 CENSUS, WASH.CO.GA NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS (THIS IS A GOOD ONE!-on 2 fiche).... You can see there are lots of good things to order from SLC and have at your local FHC. You can't take them home of course, but they are wonderful resources you can have at your fingertips! Good luck! *TINA/CA* List Mgr.

"FHLC" = FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY CATALOG (on cd, list of just abt everything that Salt Lake City has in it's massive FHL (Family History LIBRARY there). On the FHLC tonite, I printed out MANY good WILKINSON CO. films and fiche that you can order thru your local FHC (FAMILY HISTORY CNTR) near where you live. I tried to get esp. the ones that are on FICHE, as the fiche are only 15 cents per sheet/fiche, and they will stay at your FHC indefinitely (in other words, for good!). So, if you order a book or record that is on, say, 3 fiche...that will have a good amount of information....and will only cost you 45 cents!! One good thing is JOSEPH T. MADDOX' s 'WILKINSON CO.GA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS'! This is a wonderful book, and is on fiche....several of them. But worth ordering and having for good at your FHC. I'm too tired tonite to post them all, so will try to do it tomorrow..... Also, don't forget to take a look (if you haven't already) at the FAMILYTREEMAKER site .... at: www.familytreemaker.com Good info, and links. *TINA/CA* List Mgr.

*HI ALL: ** MUST-SEE WEBSITE ** (if you haven't already seen it!) GOTO: www.familytreemaker.com I have found ALOT of my family lines here...."FamilyTreeMaker" --- you do not need to buy the cd's to view much of the information. And you can click on links to others' websites that have the info you want to view. This site also has links to other good genealogy sites. If you haven't seen this site, it's a definite MUST-SEE! (Many people own the cd's, and are willing to do look-ups, for instance, if you find your gr gr grandfather;s line is on, say, Vol 3, Tree 4433, you may be able to find someone (on this list or elsewhere), who owns that particular Vo. 3, and most people are happy to help out by looking it up, and sending it to you..... I myself am going to try and purchase some cd's if possible.... Go check it out! *TINA/CA* List Mgr.
