If there was a way to pinpoint when the 1st marriage book was stolen then there would be some sort of leads as to who to ask, instead of hearsay and conjecture. It blows my mind why somebody would have taken the entire book instead of ripping a page out of the book. This county has always been corrupt but it seems like there would be some sort of chatter about it and who has it. I just wonder if the person who does have it is aware that they have it or is someone still sitting on it trying to keep things from public view? This book would answer so many questions and the value of the book to the genealogy community is unequaled. Maybe one day it will surface.
