Every request seems to be handled differently. I've sent for records the Clerk's office told me after I called to check on it since 3 months had passed, they give them to a lady that does them for them and gave me her phone number I called and she was running behind but after a couple of months I got them. Since I can't get there I have to be patient, I'm waiting on some even now. -----Original Message----- From: Marian Sarantha <marians@trib.com> To: KYLINCOL-L@rootsweb.com <KYLINCOL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, February 13, 1999 10:02 PM Subject: Re: LINCOLN CO Records >Please include me on any response to this query.
