Hi! I have forwarded this to the list because I've never heard of the Tuscaloosa Courthouse being burned. In my first post, I admitted that I haven't been to the 7th floor myself but I have been in the records room and the Probate office, where I didn't find what I was looking for but remember very well seeing records dating back to the 1830's. Take care.

What a treasure! I've enjoyed this thread very much. Thanks to all who have presented material. It is my hope one day to be able to go see all this! Jackie
