Please let me know if someone can help. A lady from the Genealogy Center in Auburn has offered to help me by scanning and emailing me the obits, but I don't think they can handle my full request.

I calculated his date of birth from his age on the stone to be March 4, 1811. Margaret's date of death as shown on her grave stone is July 10, 1868. I calculated her date of birth from her age on the stone to be July 5, 1811.

Back in early March I found a reference on the DeKalb County Gen-Web site to a land deed that relates to my early family in DeKalb County. There wasn't a date reference posted as to the date, but it must be for the time frame between the 1850 and 1860 census which I supplied, along with the info posted from the index about the deed. I was told to write to the courthouse for copies and total number of pages. I sent an SASE with my letter To date I have not heard a word from the courthouse. How many months (or years???) does the DeKalb County Courthouse take to respond to requests? Or is the whole courthouse closed down? Richard INDEKALB-L@rootsweb.com
