When I was there last year, I think it was, they had someone set up in the first floor of the court house making microfilm pix from old records. I think it was the LDS and perhaps if they knew a lot more records were available that hadn't been transcribed they would come in and do the work. There are already at least 16 rolls of microfilm of unsorted material from the 1820-abt. 1860 period in the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City. This material is largely worthless for research purposes because it is unsorted and unindexed. The film crew can record the documents, but can't sort it. They would probably be happy to film this material after it is sorted. Because it is located in locations where it is vulnerable to the elements and to vandalism, they would probably consider it a priority. Neil E. Folsom, CA
