Hi Maxine, It's Sandy that's answering, not Robert. He has nothing to do with genealogy. Here's the link to the Putnam Co. home page. You can follow the links there to get the phone number and address to the courthouse, and yes it is in Unionville. http://www.rootsweb.com~moputnam/#records Just click on that link and it should take you straight to the Putnam Co. page. As far as land records go, I don't have a phone # for them. If you go to the BLM site, you can order the records right from that site. I don't know how you do it thru the courthouse, I haven't done it there. I have NO cemetery records I'm afraid, so can't help you out at all on who's buried when and where. You can check with the courthouse, or write to the library in Unionville and send a donation with your request and they should be able to help you. Good luck in your research.
