This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SOLOMON, WOOD, WOOLSEY, OWENS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jAB.2ACI/1860 Message Board Post: My nephew and I are coming to that area in about 2 weeks. We are interested in searching some county records and making contact with any local genealogy groups. I would appreciate hearing from someone with knowledge about the accessibility of county offices, cooperation of county officials concerning research, and any genealogy groups in that county.

I can tell you a couple of things; I just today returned from a trip to Clinton County--all the way from Texas. The ladies in the courthouse were very nice; they told me I could stay all day if I wanted. Copies are 25 cents per page. Unfortunately, the courthouse burned during the Civil War, so there isn't much before that time. I was so lucky that a lady from Nashville, Tennessee, just happened to be there researching. (I think she said she grew up in Clinton County.) She knew where to find the copy of the one deed book that partially survived the fire. She helped me find wills and other documents and even ran the copies for me. They were in Will Book 1 and Will Book 2, and they are indexed. The public Library has a genealogy section. There are quite a few marriage records there and a lot of other things, but I ran out of time. I was pleased to find the 1840 census on microfilm. There is a lot of information there on microfilm.

Hey Gary, I didn't know you were opening a book and gift shop. I'll be sure to stop by when I am over that way.
