To All, I was reading the response to Breezy about the Will of William Todd. I recently started doing research at the Courthouse in Vital Records and Probate. This is some information for those of you who want to do research in Belmont County. If the Index shows a book # and page, the Will is in the file cabinets in the office. If there is no # and page, then you have to write down the case number and leave it at the desk with all your contact information. They will have to find the record in storage and it may take a couple of weeks to a month before you hear from them because they are getting backlogged a little bit. It is $1.00 per page to have them copied because they are large and they copy them for you. Certified copies of births and deaths are $3.00 each. I will find out the price for Naturalization Records. I am doing research on small fee basis if anyone needs records from the Courthouse or Health Departments. I own two books that I can do lookups in, these are the 1870 Census of Belmont County and the Greenwood Cemetery Book. Also, records cannot be ordered by calling the Courthouse. They do not do lookups, you must get them yourself or have someone get them for you. Joan (Joanne Rogers was doing lookups for Belmont County. Sadly, she passed away on May 9, 2000. She had resided in Barnesville, Ohio and she loved helping anyone who needed help in Belmont County. We have lost one our best researchers. I can never fill her shoes, but I would like to help continue her tradition of helping. I hope this has been helpful to those of you coming to do your own research or for those of you who cannot come to Belmont County do the research yourself. Connie McGilton Barries cbarries@1st.net
