Message Board Post:
Have you been to the Mooresville library yet? I went there for the first time last week.
I have done nearly all of my Morgan County research in Martinsville at the county library.
I didn't even know that the Mooresville library had genealogical information. Last
week I decided to check it out and found that they have a very helpful genealogist and
good info. I found the obituaries that I needed located in the family surname vertical
files. If I had stayed in Martinsville, I would never have found these because their
microfilm of Mooresville papers doesn't go back that far. I was also impressed with
their technology. They are working on a research grant project to scan their obituaries
from the local papers and index them. It should be up and running pretty soon to the
public. If you're in the Mooresville area, check it out.
