Traci, Reading your post about scanning indexes brought to mind - When I was in the Pickens County Courthouse a few weeks ago, I was looking for a legal record on Joshua Cox. A woman took me downstairs where the old records are kept. They were in file cabinets in an area which appeared to be a parking garage. They called it the basement. She told me that a prisoner had put the records in some order, but many weren't arranged at all. I looked through eight drawers to find what I was searching for. This would be a great project for the historical society or someone interested in preserving these documents. They badly need an index. It would be a shame for these records to be neglected much longer. I live several hundred miles away, or I would take on this project. Just a suggestion..............Gail
