Peggy, Sounds good. Can you find out if they have any of the old newspapers at Vaiden in case we have to go to Carrollton, too? I think I've only been to the Vaiden courthouse once to do research. Most official records are at the courthouse in Carrollton. Someone ought to clean up those old record books. Last time I was there, they had stored many of the early record/marriage/deed books in a small room across the hall from the clerk's office. When I asked about finding a certain book of marriages, they just handed me a door key and said "across the hall". You couldn't even move around in that room. It was full of storage items and had all the old record books in shelves on the wall. I felt like I was in a dungeon and expected to see a bunch of RATS run out from under a desk at any time. Creepy. From some of the places you and me have been researching, I think all genealogy researchers should have a series of shots - including Rabies vaccination - before we go into places like the Attala Co. Courthouse below-ground storage rooms. Remember last time we were there I liked to never had made it down those flights of stairs. While we were down there we saw that dumb waiter elevator shaft and I almost got in it to ride back up to the first floor? I know you can't tell me you go down there by yourself. Who knows what's hiding in those rows of books!!! BOOO! We'' see.............

Maybe we could find more "Carroll Co. News".

Don't be telling me about Vaiden's courthouse!! Have you forgot they do have a new one, but I haven't been in it. Yes, I go down in the Chancery Clerks basement in Kosy. It takes me a few min. to get down there & even more to come back up. I'm really breathing hard when I get back to the main floor. I really need to do those stairs everyday, or when I do go, do the stairs about 5 times. Afraid if I didn't make it, no one would hear me or come looking for me. In some of those old storage room, they could hide someone & never find them afterward. Last year when I found in the paper about Lillian Stafford, I went in the Circuit Clerk in Winona, & was told those old files were at the library in a room down below. I sure would had to see that room. If I decide to go down into some of those rooms, I think I'm going to take some spray also. > Peggy, > > Sounds good.
