I have an investment in those records in the Tuscaloosa court house. This is an idea. I don't know what it costs or the logistics. In the Delaware County, Indiana GenWeb, they have all court records online. It is called WebXtender by Legato. Durndest thing I ever saw. I'm like a kid in a candy store. If Alabama or even Tuscaloosa could have that I might know what I need to know to piece this family together. I am not representative or even know how it works. I just think it's the greatest invention since one determined genealogist, but many of cannot afford travel to that area. Could someone-more-computer-literate-than-me check this out and find a way we could put our records in a safe place. On-line would be a miracle. If Delaware County Indiana did it, why can't we?
I took a look at the Delaware, Indiana GENWEB site, and this is truly an amazing thing....obviously, it was a huge undertaking and doing anything like this would require considerable organization and many people willing to take on a massive project. This is what the Delaware, Indiana site says: In June 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Indiana Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Indiana where collected databases would be stored. The databases were indexed and cross-linked so that even if an individual were found in more than one county they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. I am Virginia Brown Fyfe, County Coordinator for Delaware, Indiana. If you would like to be a volunteer coordinator for an Indiana County, please contact the Indiana State Coordinator: Gene Andert. If you would like to contribute any information to this page, please let me know by sending an email message describing the format and content of the data. Pretty amazing.
