Notice:

Due to restructuring  and budget cuts,  the Fulton County Records Department staffing has been cut to one person and she will be retiring this Fall.  For the time being the office will now be closed during lunch period.  The responsibilities will eventually be taken over by the Recorders Office with  the current Records Administrator to provide training of the staff. The current administrator is going to be out of office on Friday, June 12, 2009 so it will be CLOSED.   If planning a major research trip to the Fulton County Records Center this Summer during the transition you may want to call in advance to make sure the office will be open and that there will be adequate staff available to assist you.
