Posted on: San Saba Co., TX Queries<br> with Automated Mailing List Posting Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/SanSaba/10666 Surname: ------------------------- You can request court records through interlibrary loan. (I believe they come from the State Archive.) Go to the main branch of your local public library to the section that has genealogy holdings. [I know that the Dallas Public Library is very good; Ft. Worth probably is too, but I've never been there.] You need to know the timeframe and location/county. The records will probably take a couple of weeks to get to you after you make your request, and if I remember correctly, you can only request a couple of microfilm rolls at a time, so you might have hit-or-miss luck with the dates, if you're not sure. There will probably be a couple of years worth of records on each microfilm. You want the Court Minutes for the county in question, which will include a record of the charges, some basic facts of the case, the ruling of the court and the sentencing. Depending on the county and the time, there may be more detail. The records were bound into books and lettered or numbered. At the beginning of each book will be a sheet to let you know the timeframe covered by the book, and there should be an index at the beginning or end of each book. Names are sorted by the letter they start with, but usually NOT alphabetized within each letter, so you'll have to look carefully. I live in San Antonio and have requested the records for San Saba before, with no problems. Good luck! Lisa Mitchell bslick7819@aol.com
