Resources to Research Warren County, GA
This is a list developed by one of the original county coordinators for Warren County of resources available at the State Archives -
Georgia Archives
Warren County Records
Planning a trip to the Georgia Archives in Atlanta any time soon?
You may want to when you read this list. I have searched through the
Georgia Archives holdings on line and have found the following items
that are available for viewing at the Georgia Archives. Gee Whiz!
There's tons of stuff here specifically for Warren County. This may
be the reason the Warren County Courthouse won't allow us to view these
old files -- they are now on microfilm at the Georgia Archives in
Atlanta.
You will want this list for your next trip to the Georgia Archives.
Be sure to print this list out and hang on to it. I might forget
and leave mine at home. What? You are taking me with you when you
go, aren't you?? <<big grin>>
