It would seem well and good, but the copy of the will I got from them was
quite worthless. Not the historical society's fault, but a poor microfiche.
And since a lot of records were burned in the Civil War, it would help to
have someone photograph the copies that were gathered from families and
lawyers after that. It would be decent of Berkeley County to do just that.
