Hi Patsy, There have been several fires at the courthouse so many records were destroyed. The Gadsden Public Library http://library.gadsden.com/genealogy.html has a good collection of Cherokee Co resources: Cherokee Co newspapers on microfilm, census records, cemetery books, ect. Check their online catalog. Also, the Anniston Library has Cherokee Co resources. You might want to visit the Cherokee County Museum while you are there. It is located next to the Courthouse. They have some records there (I found my great grandparent's marriage license there).
