Hello, folks! Thanks to Sandy Foulke, I will soon have something you'll all be interested in: birth records for Lincoln County! Although I had asked at the courthouse about these and was told they didn't exist, it turns out they were three blocks away at city hall! These records begin in 1886 and continue through the 1970s, according to the city clerk. They will not be complete; i.e., people turned the information in themselves and apparently there was no real obligation to do so. But still ... what a find. Thanks, Sandy, for the alert! The catch, and you won't believe it, is that they have no way of printing it out anymore, because the computer program is no longer available, and they only have ONE COPY. So I have to find someone who will go in and put the book on a copier and flip it over and over for a few hours to get a copy. But if I find someone, they will let me have the copy. So I'm working on that and when I get it, I'll let you all know! Tracee
