My friends - I am glad to be able to finally be able to announce that the Graves County Order Book G Page Images with Every Name Index CD-ROM is available for distribution. This CD contains individual images of all 652 pages in the Graves County Circuit Court Order Book G, covering the 1853-1856 time frame, as well as an every-name index to the entries in that book. There are over 3000 entries indexed. In addition, the Index has clickable links to each page image(many thanks again to Don Larson for this improvement), and the Index itself has been extensively revised and corrected(with thanks to Cheri Casper for her work in this area). This material constitutes the earliest existing county based records for Graves County, since the December 1887 courthouse fire destroyed 99% of all county records. The CD will function on Windows or MAC operating systems, and offers the user the choice of "automatic" clickable links from the Index directly to the page images via a web browser(Internet Explorer or Netscape will operate with this feature), or the "manual" approach, in which the user can open each page image through any image file viewer, such as MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or any other such program. This CD represents literally hundreds of hours of work in the part of our volunteer indexers, myself, and our beta testers and other contributors over a two and a half year period. Subscribers to the lists which I host are offered the opportunity to obtain this CD at a discounted cost of $12.00(the general public will be asked to pay $15.00), which includes First Class shipping. The CD will be packaged in a "slimline" jewel case for protection and will be appropriately labeled on its surface, with instructions included on accessing the information. Please e-mail me off-list for any further information and for the address to which to send payments. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
