June/Glenn, We have a very nice visitors center at the crossroads of I-77 and 460 in Princeton They have a few books on different people in the area. And at the Princeton times which is on Thorn street in Princeton they have a few books written by Bill Archer some have things about the folks in the area. And Also they have a young man working there that writes articles for the paper his name is Jeff Harvey he lives in the Athens area. He most likely can tell you most all of the people you need to contact in this area. Hope this helps a little. Happy Hunting!

My sweet wife is allowing me $65-75 money to purchase some geneology material; books, tapes, or ? My specific search and interest now is the Post Civil War life of Levi Farley and attempting to find one or more of his present day descendants who might remember some old family stories passed down through the Farley families. In particular, finding a family historian who might remember something about my grandfather three generations removed. I only have A.A. Hopkins old book, out of print, and a few odds and ends presently. With all that said, here's my question. Would/Could you recommend something for me for that small amount of money that I could add to my geneology library? Also, where in Princeton, Hinton or ? can I purchase said material? Could you recommend a/some book stores, catalogs, order houses, etc where I could spend my allowance? As you know, many of the good old books are out of print and collectors charge more than I could pay. Sorry, didn't mean to write a book.
