Subject: local land records in decline
Who is in charge, at the state level, of /local/, i.e., county, land
records and deed books?
A certain circuit court clerk in a certain county is notoriously
uninterested in maintaining/preserving old land records in her charge,
and a local gentleman has expressed concern, and a willingness to help
raise funds to make copies.
Any suggestions?
