INTRODUCTION

Picture 5THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE. It's the place to find your ancestors. Today's genealogist is so accustomed to heading straight to the web for information about their ancestors that they often forget the wealth of information in the local courthouse.

Only a fraction of historical records are online. Records galore are waiting to be discovered in hundreds of brick-and-mortar sites across the nation. For example, here's just a sampling of the documents you might find in the county courthouse or town hall:

Picture 6 adoptions

Picture 7 apprenticeships and indentures

Picture 8 bills of sale

Picture 9 birth and death records

Picture 10 bonds

Picture 11 business and professional licenses

Picture 12 civil court proceedings

Picture 13 coroner's files and inquests

Picture 14 criminal court records

Picture 15 divorce petitions, cases, and decrees

Picture 16 estate inventories

Picture 17 insanity and commitment hearings

Picture 18 jury lists

Picture 19 justice of the peace records

Picture 20 land deeds

Picture 21 licenses and permits

Picture 22 manumissions

Picture 23 marriage bonds, licenses, and certificates

Picture 24 military service discharges

Picture 25 minute books

Picture 26 name changes

Picture 27 naturalization records

Picture 28 oaths of allegiance

Picture 29 prenuptial agreements

Picture 30 relief, welfare and public assistance records

Picture 31 subpoenas

Picture 32 tax rolls

Picture 33 voter registrations

Picture 34 warrants

Picture 35 wills and probate documents

Picture 36 wolf-scalp bounties

Courthouse records are among the most richly detailed documents you'll find. And the best part? Most courthouse records are available to you even without making a trip to your ancestor's county. You can write to the county clerk to request copies of many documents, or you can find them on microfilm. We'll detail these options as well as how to plan a visit in the next section, How to Use This Book.
