Rosebird, You're quite welcome, and you have a good idea. Make sure to look at the posting that Nicole made today. She has included a very extensive and complete listing of the records available in the Polk County Courthouse, including some things I may have missed myself. Hats off to her. Yours is a good idea, though! Including the records of the library and health department of a given county, in addition to the courthouse, would add a lot to public knowledge. --Mark
