Bedford County Courthouse is a great place to research. I suggest that you write to the
Clerk of the Court and ask if they will send you printouts of the Estates and Deeds for
the surname "HALL". From there you can order these documents and learn a great
deal about your families.
Estates - Wills etc can give you a lot of information. However, the Deed Records are a
wonderful source of relationships and information also. When you write, ask for their
prices also.
The other thing that you can do, if you live near a family history center is to order the
microfilm for Bedford County Deed Indexes. The same with Wills & Estates. I print
out the Indexes for the surnames I researching, go home and enter them into Excel. I then
sort the index by
Book and Page number. After that, I order film and am able to copy all the documents that
are on each roll of film that pertain to the surname I am researching. I know it sounds
like a lot of work, but in reality it save you a lot of time. Good luck. meg
