The society charges $.25 a copy for anything that you copy. These records
> are exactly the same as you would find if you went to the courthouse, we
> have just made a copy of the exact pages. The society has more room for
you
> to search these records as we have several tables and there is only a
small
> room at the courthouse.
>
> Anyone can look at these records but there is no index, they are in
> alphabetical order and years. For instant, if you are looking for the last
> name Wood born in 1905, then you would look in the book that have all the
> records for 1905 and look under the W's. The names are alphabetized and in
> the year they are done by the day and month born. They also have the
parents
> names, state, county and township.
>
> We have abstracted the records from Vol 1 & 2 which have been printed into
> books and they are for sell at the society office. We have the exact pages
> from the courthouse records of volumes 3-6. These will take a little
> longer for someone to search but they are available at the society.
>
> They are not on microfilm. Again, anyone is welcome to come to the society
> and search through these records or any other records we might have. It is
> just easier to search them at the society office than at the small room in
> the courthouse. Just another way we are trying to make researching in
Gallia
> County easier for everyone.
