Hello, I am researching the Hudson surname in Decatur. Of particular interest is the family of Joseph & Barbara Hudson(first found on 1870 census). I have been to Decatur twice looking for records, and plan on getting back there sometime this spring. What I need to know is, are the tax records for 1870 & up available for the public to see. If so, where are they kept & what are the hours? Thanx. -- Judy Hudson GENEALOGY: The 'Real Theory Of Relativity'.
