Hi, I have spent a lot of time in the Court house. It all depends on what you will be looking for. If your people died there, born there married there lived a long time there, bought land etc. The Court house has land , Court, Wills, probates, mar books, some births, . They have index books for land records to look up and it will tell what book etc to find it in or they have taken a number out and filmed them and have the films. I'd go to the Funeral home first for deaths and if too old and far back may need to seach papers. These were last I knew in the mMuseum and the place for the Historical Society in the Old train Depot Bldg by the RR tracks. The lib is open ? on hours. Maybe someone will tell you. Hope this helps you. maxine in Roy mmwaw@sprynet.com -----Original Message----- From: Pollywogh@aol.com <Pollywogh@aol.com> To: WALEWIS-L@rootsweb.com <WALEWIS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, June 30, 1999 8:35 PM Subject: [WALEWIS-L] Best Places to Research >Hi, > >I will be coming to Lewis County in early August to do genealogy research on >my husband's family.
