I have been reading with interest the comments on Morgan Co. I have been to the library and courthouse many times and they have always been very helpful---except on the recorders office. I also found Ruth to be wonderful. As a volunteer lookup person in Muskingum Co., it is so hard to keep up with the requests and we have more people doing the lookups than Morgan County. On an average, I answer 20 e mail a week and at least 5 through the snail mail. At the present time I am about 25 e mails behind. Some take 10 minutes, others take hours. I understand that people get upset because there requests are not answered--it has happened to me many times, BUT we are missing an important key factor. WE ARE VOLUNTEERS!!! We all try. I know how hard the Morgan County Genealogy Society is trying to keep going, so please be patient. Thanks for reading, Debbie
