If >you're lucky enough to locate more than one copy, please let me know as I >would dearly love to have it. > >Surnames: just a few - THOMPSON, GRIFFIN, MYRICK, WYNN, LANGFORD, MARTIN, >BULLOCH, TALIAFERRO, TOMPKINS, AVANT, COX > >I noticed in a later note from you that you mentioned getting it on fiche. >I'm not familiar with that. Can you explain to me how to go about getting it. >I live in Augusta, GA and I understand there is a LDS library here but haven't >had an opportunity to visit it yet. Thanks for any help you can give me. >Diane ***** TINA'S RESPONSE TO DIANE: HI DIANE: I will let everyone know if I am able to obtain multiple copies of the MADDOX BOOK, WILKINSON CO.GA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS! I love this book! if we have enough people interested, we could probably have it reprinted, or a number of copies anyway, to make it worthwhile. I will check into it and put a notice up about it at a later date. THE BOOK IS ON MICROFICHE at the Family HIstory Library in Salt Lake City (the main GIANT Genealogy Library, now called "Family History Library"). When you go to your local LDS FHC (Family HIstory Cntr), ask them to show you on the FHLC (family hist.library catalog) how to look this book up on the computer. Then ask them to show you how you can ORDER IT ON FICHE! It will only cost a few dollars. They will, if they are like our FHC where I work, and most others I believe, retain that FICHE of the entire book indefinitely (for good). So you can have it there at your heart's content! Do not overlook the FHC as a wonderful resource! If you, or anyone needs help getting started there, please feel free to ask for assistance. I'll be glad to help, give advice, suggestions, etc. Diane, if you are not already Subscribed to the WILKINSON CO. LIST (as I believe you sent your email to me personally), pls. do so, so you won't miss out on any of the posts to the List that may interest you! Best, TINA/CA List Mgr.
