I've heard SO many different answers from people trying to get records (or copies) from our courthouse! Some people I know have said they were very helpful there and went to great lengths to help them find what they needed, and I've talked to others who said no one there seemed the slightest bit interested in helping, and even told them certain records didn't exist that many of us KNOW are there. Maybe it depends on who you talk to in the office? Doesn't seem fair, since any business we have there should be just as important as whatever their "regular" job entails. Aren't they ALL "public" records? Have a lot of you had trouble with this? Is it just Putnam county, or is this a common problem?
