That would be the County Clerk's office: http://www.bellcountytx.com/countyclerk/index.htm http://www.bellcountytx.com/countyclerk/bccrs.htm I located my great grandparents' 1883 marriage license there when I stopped by a few years back. I recommend calling to check on the policy of requesting records. Good luck... Joe D.

I'm not sure whether it would be the county courthouse or the probate office as it is in some counties. Would I need to write a letter to the or could I place a call to them to obtain the records? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Eileen Rogers Mullins nemullins@msn.com<mailto:nemullins@msn.com>
