*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

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
