This morning's visit to our genealogist, Irene, really paid off. She's been working her fingers to the bone registering, logging, labeling, and reading all the new materials and books that have recently come to the Odom Genealogical Library.
Especially noteworthy is the new microfilm on the Worth County, Georgia newspapers. There are twelve boxes of microfilm dated October 1895 to May 1931. The newspapers are the Worth County Local, which was later changed to the Sylvester Local. And they're ready for you to look at and enjoy.
Not only the newspapers, but specially ordered books have arrived. See if any of these received in March might encourage you to visit the Odom Library:
***11th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry
***15th South Carolina Infantry
***3rd South Carolina Infantry Battalion
***Order of First Families of North Carolina Registry of Ancestors Vol. 2
***Colonial Families of Surry and Isle of Wright County, Virginia, Vol. 9
***Abstracts of Pasquotank County, North Carolina Deeds 1750-1770
***Wayne County, Tennessee, History & Families, Vol. I & II
***Family Maps of Henry, Barbour, Dale, Coffee, Cherokee, DeKalb, Jackson County, Alabama; Family Maps of Citrus, Holmes, Jackson, Santa Rosa, Suwanee, Washington County, Florida.
What with all the reunions coming up pretty soon, now would be a good time to visit the Odom Library and make sure your genealogy papers are in order. You know how it is with reunions. People are always asking questions about relatives and you need to be prepared.
If you have any questions about the new materials, just call 229-985-6540 and ask for Irene. Or you can visit our website and contact the webmaster. You'll see the link on the home page.
