When the county microfilmed the books, the Forum was selected as the custodian of the ledgers. According to their website, the books and indexes are housed in the “Rare Book Room” and are available for inspection. Data from ten databases covering 1855―1910+ were recently posted online. They are all in alphabetical order with a link to each page, based on the first name on each page. You can browse the page to find your ancestor.
Once you’ve found your ancestor, of course, you’ll want a copy of the original record. For only $5.00, the Forum staff will photocopy the document and mail it to you. Send your requests with $5.00 to:
