 * LOC published a history of each county

 * List all possible libraries *List only libraries that have some collections *List affiliate libraries where patrons can order from FHL


 * Photo Contest - UGA willing to donate a membership to the top three winners of Photos - 1st, 2nd and 3rd places - which will be determined by a drawing of all photos selected - 1 photo for each of the 29 counties. Photo....TBC One rule to add to Photo Contest - must create a user page....


 * Tables at the top of each county

 * Counties kept Birth records - Deaths at state level (1920)


 * Vital records from 1905 - (end date)and explain where else someone to look
 * Marriages - look in the correct state
