*Court Records are back* The renovated, remodeled Bedford courthouse has now opened to the public. It is located on Main St. next to the Bedford Museum. I'm told there is even a history room, and also that it is now quite user friendly. *Bedford County Genealogical Society* c/o Bedford City/County Museum 201 East Main Street Bedford, VA 24523 Tele: (540) 586-4520 Hours: 10-5 Mon-Sat, exc Holidays Bedford Co. has some of the BEST records in the State of Virginia. I wish all the counties had such good records. You should research the will books (along with inventories), court order books and the land records/deed books. They provide different types of information. I found the Bedford information on the USGenWeb site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vabedfor/bedford.htm I would strongly recommend that all Bedford researchers at least check out this great website before they head there. Thanks to Freddie Spradlin the site coordinator. Best of luck in your research.
