Thank you for the information. In the meantime, is there still an opportunity for us to visit the Courthouse to do research and view these records? I have not been able to find information concerning my John BRADY and family, who lived in Coalton, Jackson Co. (1800 thru 1900....) through the folks who work at the Courthouse, where I have found the records looking on the microfilm available myself [I wrote to Jackson regarding the marriage record of daughter Urilla to Oliver Grove - received letter in return stating the record did not exist... made trek to OHS found notice in newspaper regarding marriage, ordered film from LDS found license application]. I do not fault the folks who work there - they seem not to have the funds or personnel to do look ups. It would seem more a more appropriate to my request might have been "We apologize, but do to lack of funding, personnel, resources, we are unable to do a more thorough search for your records at this time....." as opposed to, "the records you request are not found". It seems as though I will have to make a trip to Jackson to look through Land records and Estate records on my own.... which I will make time to do, but if those records will be unavailable do to microfilming..... Does anyone know a timeframe? Not living close to Jackson County, I need to make vacation plans to accomplish this task.... Any ideas, please let me know. Thank you for your time and advise! Lisa
