Subj: Re: [ALCONECU] Conecuh County Alabama Courthouse  Date: 6/6/2005 2:13:53 PM Eastern Standard Time From: YukiYama2 To: southernborn55@hotmail.com    Do you know how and where the records have been stored?  I hope great care has been taken with the old records..they are fragile and important as they are sometimes the only remaining documentation that genealogy researchers can get.   Unfortunately, in one GA town where I have done research, the old records were placed in garbage bags to be moved and "temporarily" stored in an attic of a public building...some were deemed trash and thrown out ...others remained but without being retrieved, forgotten and not cataloged.  A group is trying to salvage them as they have been found and are  deteriorating with their age and being so fragile.  Much historical documentation has been lost forever.  We will never know what all went on in this local for much of the 17 and 1800's.   Carol Forney In a message dated 6/5/2005 10:56:24 PM Eastern Standard Time, southernborn55@hotmail.com writes: > Subj: [ALCONECU] Conecuh County Alabama Courthouse > Date: 6/5/2005 10:56:24 PM Eastern Standard Time > From: southernborn55@hotmail.com > To: ALCONECU-L@rootsweb.com > Sent from the Internet > > > > For those of you who have not heard.
