Janice and all,
I sent this email today... not sure why it didn't reach everyone. So here
it is again.
Thanks for caring!

Subject: Old County Records for Owen County - Update oncurrentsituation
Hello all,
I have had several requests for information on the results of our meeting
with the Owen County Commissioners.
You will recall that we were meeting to offer a proposal for the handling
of
the old Owen county records. Our proposal was to use some of the
available space
in the lower level of the courthouse for temporarily housing some, if not
all, of the old records. We were hoping to find a way to defer the
shipping
of the records to the State Archives for a period long enough to give us
an
opportunity to scan and preserve the images. The county's attorney said
that there was no room available in the courthouse and that funds were not
available for the county to help in housing.
They agreed to give us some time to arrange for local housing of the
records
and that is what we are going to be working on. That is all of the
information I have for you at the moment. I don't expect much to be
decided
until after the Thanksgiving holiday, but will let you know as events
unfold.
Thank you all for your support and words of encouragement. I do wish that
all of you were here in Owen County and could get involved.
Best to you all and happy hunting and enjoy your families this
Thanksgiving
Holiday!

After all the e-mailing that was done I thought we would have heard
