Bibb County Church Histories


We need your information on ALL Churches in Bibb County!
e-mail.

Here's a listing of Bibb County churches and historical materials available.Although this is from Mercer Univ page...you'll see the microfilm is available sometimes through LDS and GDAH.

I would guess that Washington Memorial Library might also have it.

Please, if anyone does look at these films, would you try to write up a brief history of the church, and transcribe whatever membership lists you might have the time to do.
