Hi All, I just joined this list and I have some questions for any of you who have researched this county for some time. I just discovered that my gggrandparents lived in Mont. county in 1850, some time before they moved to Berks. So I went to the Montg. county courthouse site, thinking I could do a surname search for available records, such as marriage, death, birth, and estate, only to discover it is nothing like the Berks County site. If I read this correctly, I have to pay a $10 fee to register and then $.15 for every minute I research on line. I never heard of anything like this. My question is: Exactly what is available at this site on-line? Do they have indexes like Berks or the actual records on line? I can't imagine paying such exorbitant fees to research for indexes. Is the Montgomery County courthouse open to the public to do research? Do they provide tables and copy machines? If anyone has done research at this courthouse I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Judy B. in NY state ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
