I just wanted to thank all of the wonderful folks who responded to my message with county Courthouse hours and tips on other local research resources. Just when I thought all of humanity was only as nice as a DC commuter on the Beltway, you show me this not the case where my ancestors came from! My father and I will be using the information you sent me as we take a closer look for family on the local levels! Thanks again! David E.
