Hi Jean, I'm happy to report that I am going to be going to Ironton myself in a few days! I didn't think I'd be able to do it, but I am. :-) Though for those on the list who are local, where do I have to go (please give names and addresses of buildings) to get: Birth records -- 1902 Marriage records -- 1830 Death records Ledger 3-200 Reg. 3 Deeds -- earliest land records Wills -- 1846 Also, from Mercerville, Gallia County it looks like I should plan to come across 790 to 141 and drop down to Ironton that way? Is that the best way? I'm really psyched about having this opportunity to really come into Lawrence County, rather than just crossing the bridge at Proctorville ;-) Thanks a bunch to everyone!
