Everyone, take note.... If you live in the Blue Ridge, GA area and can attend the March 7 -- 1p.m. meeting at the Library, please do so. Our Fannin Co. library, which holds a lot of useful resources for us genealogy researchers, is in trouble. The following message was sent to me from Cece, one of our Fannin Co. Genealogy Society members. Unless a solution is found, we may not have our Fannin library for next 2 years.. or longer....!!!!!!! I can tell you from my personal research experience, you'll not find many of our Fannin Co. books, vertical files, etc. in any of the other surrounding county libraries. This will greatly hamper our ability to perform Fannin Co., GA research.
