(parents, children, siblings and grandparents). Genealogy copies are
non-certified and the copy will have that statement stated across the
record.
Copies of birth records are $12.00 each and $2.00 for each additional
copy of the same record.
Copies of marriage and death records are $7.00 each and $2.00 for each
additional copy of the same record.
Generally copies are out within a couple days.
Land records searches can be a very time consuming project as our indexes
are not on computer. We have to search the old hand written indexes which
are in chronological order under the letter of the alphabet. It is very helpful
if they have the land description since we can than search the tract index.
The family of [Joan P. Sherburn]
has been traced back to the 1700's in Prussia. They homestead this
area in the 1860's. Some of her ancestors helped to build the railroad tunnels between
Sparta and Elroy. Email [Joan P. Sherburn]
