I have received the following email from Commissioner Mark Thomas Belmont County Ohio. From: Mark Thomas [mailto:mthomas@belcc.com] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 11:34 AM To: 'Cheryl J Skinner'; 'cprobst@belcc.com'; 'Gordie Longshaw' Subject: RE: Old County Records WE are in a meeting right now and you may forward this response to whomever you want Cheryl. The commission remains focused on providing a facility open to the public for review of the records. It has been an issue that has been ignored for 100 years and will not be resolved overnight. You are free to ask any questions at anytime. Thanks, Mark Cheryl J Skinner <http://www.connectingfamilydots.com> Connecting Family Dots Make a Genealogist happy with books from the Belmont County Genealogical Society <http://www.bccogs.org>
