I heard it burned down in the early 1900s that was why my dad could not get his birth certificate. In a message dated 8/29/2007 2:51:17 P.M.

There was a bomb that went off in the police section of the courthouse, but it never touched the records for the county. I am confused as to what records are in Morgantown? Does anyone know specifically?
