Hi all, been watching these messages and I have to ask, I was planning a trip for four days to Jackson Co, middle of May, should I not go? Will I not find what I need, will I not get help, Im still (in my mind anyway) new to geneology and would need some help in locating records and knowing what my next step should be, so do I just skip trying to go to Jackson and maybe go to Vinton or other counties my family lived in? I do need to go if for no other reason to see Byers Cemetery but I wanted to get into the records and what not. So please tell me if this would be a wasted trip. Thanks in advance, Crystal

Crystal, By all means go. They are very helpful and just have your list of who you are looking for and dates. You will find some good info there. It is some of the older records in the attic we have been referring to. like tax records. I went last year and was so glad I did. It is a wonderful place to visit. I may return this year for a few more days.

There are a lot of records to be found in genealogy in Jackson. Not just the tax & cemetery records there is the Library and Jones Museum plus all the records and names plus the other info that are in Jackson and counties nearby. Yes I think you will find a lot by coming to Jackson, whether you re new or advanced in genealogy. Its also a wonderful place to live ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 12:20 AM Subject: [OHJACKSO-L] Re: Jackson Clerk of Courts > Hi all, been watching these messages and I have to ask, I was planning a trip > for four days to Jackson Co, middle of May, should I not go?
