Sorry,
I forgot to mention that the Georgia Archives has microfilm on a lot of the
criminal's that were sent to prison and I believe that I saw some of the
original files there.
You could contact the archives via email and ask them about their
collections.
I also have 33 rolls of microfilm and 3 file cabinet drawers full of
material to get transcribed. I have a microfilm reader here and am training
a program to allow me to dictate the microfilm since it can take dictation
fo 140 wpm this is a lot faster than I can type.

Wonderful information...will go take a look...I did and it is
great...can't
wait to read some of the case files. Wish someone would do the same
for
Irwin and Ben Hill County....How did you get the film of the originals or
did you copy the originals? Since I am down in Florida I rely on ordering
film or fiche for anything that I abstract and transcribe. Anyone up in
Georgia near Ben Hill? Would love for someone to get into the Criminal
records from the creation to the county until about 1930. Gloria

since everyone can read, well you get the picture and besides I love old
script. Some of the page numbers are not there because the pages were x's
out with no print only a blank page I chose to just skip those pages. A
few
of the pages were light so I brought them up in size a little to
bring out
the text more.
