Joyce, Thanks for the info. I live in Colorado. Do you have the address of the courthouse? Do they take mail in request? Also, do you know if they have any birth records? Dreaming aren't I? The only birth records I've found before 1900 were church records! I wonder what religion these folks were? Baptist? Do you know of any archives? Alot of questions!!!! Pat > RESPONSE: > I apologize.
