None of the Lebanon County Courthouse records are online. Berks County is the first one I have seen to do that. There is a searchable index for marriages. I forget what other things might be included in the index. One huge room has the land records. All bound records with no automation. Bring someone strong, because some of the volumes are heavy. That is all I can remember right now.
