Subject: [INSWITZE] Switzerland County Court House
Some time ago, there were emails exchanged about the state of records
at
the courthouse in Vevay.
Within the last year, an addition has opened and records have been moved
(I guess
courtesy of the casino money revenue coming into the county). The
probate and will books, civil suit books (order books and complete records),
marriage records and marriage application books are now all housed in a room
in the basement labelled "Genealogy." There are some other records generally
not of great use for family historians.
It is spacioius, has plenty of tables for working area, chairs, and the
books have
been placed in order. There are also new restrooms just outside
in the same basement area and both stairs and an elevator to the first
floor.
It's generally necessary to go to the recorder's office to
have the
genealogy room unlocked, but that wasn't a big deal.
The deed books and deed indexes are still in the recorder's office, but
they
are in a new office on the first floor of the annex.
The state of the record storage has gone from one of the worst, to one of
the best
(for a small courthouse) and one of the most pleasant working
conditions to be had in a rural county courthouse.
And you now longer have to worry about it being one time inside the
courthouse and
an hour earlier in town. Hopefully, fast and slow time will
stay dead.
