I would like to commend the Committee for The Heritage of Coffee County, Alabama book on a job well done! Great job, folks! Wonderful book! UPDATE 01/09/2005: The Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society once again has the Heritage of Coffee County, Alabama books in stock for sale at the Gift Shoppe! See link to left of here for address for mailing. Prices are: To track the progress of other county books in re-publication, you can view at Heritage Publishing Preorder Webpage |
The Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society is accepting sponsorship of microfilm at twenty one dollars per film. When you sponsor a film, you can have your name and a loved one’s name printed onto the microfilm container. We are also being extended a discount on any future index books garnered from these microlfims; discount is to be used on one book only. We are hoping to sponsor approximately 200 microfilms. These microfilms were created by the Alabama Department of Archives, and are films of documents (deaths, marriages, voting registration, inventories, etc.) pertaining to Coffee County which are/were located in the Coffee County Courthouses. As anyone who has researched in our Elba Courthouse knows, the floods have taken their toll on many records....as has time. The presense of these microfilms in our Society Library is a treasure for our present and future use. Also, the PRHGS will be producing books from these microfilms to be sold at the Society to support the Society. Please be sure to include "FOR MICROFILM PROJECT ONLY" on your check and envelope...and include name you wish listed on film container. Example: Donated by Jack Doe & In Memory of John Doe; or Donated by Jack Doe & In Honor of John Doe |

USEFUL INFORMATION Records prior to 1907 can be found at the Coffee County Courthouse. Records since 1907 are at the Coffee County Courthouse Annex. The Elba Public Library has several older census reports and a list of Confederate veterans. Birth and death records can be in-hand within 20 minutes at the Coffee County Health Department for a fee of twelve dollars. I received news that the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society was once located in the library of the Enterprise State Junior College, and that when the Society moved, there were many records left behind at the library. I have not researched this...if someone does check this out, please inform me of what you discover concerning this. |

The Library at Andalusia has all of Covington County's Census Records--I am not sure about Coffee. The Public Library at Troy has printed copies of several Coffee County censuses---and, of course, others on microfilm. They also have nearby counties. Our thanks to Galier Miller for this information. |
