It is a "must visit" if you are related to any of the older Coffee County families. The library has a special genealogy room and they have a growing number of family files for you to peruse, besides the usual Georgia resources. Please be sure and call ahead to make sure there is a Librarian on duty. Douglas Family History Center 200 North Chester Avenue Douglas, Ga 31533 912-384-0607 Please call ahead to make sure they are open. Another "must visit". This Family History Center is staffed by volunteers who are willing to help anyway they can; however they will not be able to do research for you. The Collection includes the Edith Wall Collection which includes 2200 surname folders containing family data collected by Edith Wall during the past 60 years, mostly in southeast Georgia.

Because Douglas is still a fairly small town and because it is still a part of the "Deep South", the Funeral Home business is to this ay pretty much segregated.
