An award winner at the recent
National Genealogical Society meeting:

Allen Thomas,
a former Clerk of Court in Laurens County, Georgia, undertook and completed
a herculean, fifteen-year project to preserve the records found three
cardboard boxes in an old vault at the courthouse, which held 31,895
original documents from the nineteenth century. Original documents such as
these have great historical value. The majority of the documents are estate
records. Numerous other types of documents included guardian bonds, sheriff
bonds, jury commissioner oaths, oaths of numerous elected officials, etc.
These documents were bundled in separate categories. Thomas rearranged the
documents into 3,800 files based on given and family names. He then spent
years keying an abstract of each document into the computer. The documents
are now housed at Laurens County, Georgia Public Library,
where they are
available for historical and genealogical research six days a week.
