Almost daily I see someone asking for address to some court house on almost every list I belong to, thus I am sending this to many of the various lists to help my fellow researchers, especially those very recent to this compulsive hobby. I have been doing research for over 40 years and I found long ago that the best book to have is The Handy Book for Genealogists published by The Everton Publishers, PO Box 368, Logan, Utah 84321 This book is in 8th edition and I have upgraded each time they put one out as they give more up to date info. It has every state, every county and every court house address and phone number, with date each county was formed, parent county or territory from which created, and just what records are found there and if court house was burned, etc. I am mentioning this as I could NOT live without mine and help folks all the time. This book costs about $20-haven't gotten a new one since 1991 and due for one. I am NOT a mormon, have no connection to any of their organizations or to the publishers. I am just telling you to get one and you would not have to ask for such things and it is well worth having on your own shelf and be independent. As I said I could not get along without it. Sarah
