Has anyone else heard that they are closing court records?
Apparently as part of some privacy act from the Feds, records kept in County Clerks offices will soon become unattainable. Especially those less than 100 years old and possibly as early as 50 years old. As a response to the new law many court houses across the nation are completely closing their records access to everyone, including genealogists. Preston County in WV has already closed their doors and Upshur County they confirmed the information and suggest that all courthouses will soon be closing to research.
Is there anything we can do to stop this?
2 AnswersGenealogy1 decade agoI need help tracing my Indian heritage.?
My gr grandmother is Shawnee Indian who married a white man. The story goes that she was found along the road at 4-5 yrs old and taken in by a family. The Feds came in and said all Indians must leave. She didn't want to leave so she married my gr grandfather. No docs on her Indian name. What do I do? DNA proved Indian ancestory. Is that enough?
