While the retracing of information is always a good idea it is not always
practable. With courthouse marriage records in Texas being $8 and that
consisting of a boilerplate statement with only a few facts diffferent it is often
reasonable to check the Marriage Index and note the information there. On a few
occasions we had a list of around 100 names a copy of each would run $800.
Death Certificates from the County run $23 each and you are not allowed to
look at these but must submit a written request with specific information to get
one.
In these cases, if it is direct line I purchase the document, if it is not I
rely on the index until such time as I am in contact with someone of the
direct line who has the documentation. Then we exchange info and scans of the
documentation.
