As I have noted all along, these records could be inaccurate in parts as books are sent to Frankfort, fires, etc. What was there a few years ago might have now disappeared. But, hopefully it will save you a lot of time when visiting a particular courthouse to know what they should have! © Copyright 12 Feb 1998, Sandra K.
