Barb Reininger created an

chancery record: “These types of court
document are useful when researching genealogical informant and land or
estate division and may contain correspondence, list of heirs, or vital
statistics, among other items. Cases in chancery often address estate &
business disputes, debt, the resolution of land disputes, and divorce.”

Chancery Record. Enclose a stamped
self-addressed envelope along with your request that includes information

The cost
is $.50/page (in 2005). These documents can be very lengthy & some pages may not be
needed for your purposes. For this reason, the Clerk of Court encourages you
to come to the court house to view the document before ordering. Considering
the distance I would have to travel, the travel costs far outweigh the cost
of multiple pages. For others like myself, call the Clerk of Court & ask
how best to order by snail mail when the cost is not known. |
