Message Board Post:
No those years have not been abstracted. There appears to be no interest in gathering
that information. I have tried to get someone interested in just volunteering, but can
not find anyone to come into the Historical Society. There are some very early land
records that need to be abstracted also or at least photographed, as well as funeral home
records, and some marriage records from 1930 to 1960. We have indexed marriage records to
2011 on CD, minus those, the newer ones however have only the names of the parties, and
the Book and page number. But at least you can go over and look them up. I suppose they
will eventually get rid of the micro-fiche completely. I do research for people for hire
and have no time to do all that work, plus work 3 days a week at the society, needless to
say I am getting burned out very quickly. I would say there should have been applications
for those particular years, but why no one ever abstracted them, I do not know. Nor do I
know of a!
nyone that did that work, sometimes you can find them on
ancestry.com, but you have to
have a subscrption and then you had better check for sure. Sorry I couldn't help
more.
