I just took a look at the LDS card catalog and see that many Sauk Co courthouse records are available on mirofilm. Apparently these records were photocopied at the county level. Did the courthouse not get a set of the microfilm as part of the agreement when they were copied? If handling original records is a problem, is there not a way the local genealogical society along with the county commissioners could not provide for a couple of microfilm readers so that people could read from the film? .Gayle gayle1@wheatstate.com
