I can sympathize with your problem. The Library of Virginia should be able to make a copy of a single deed for you for far less than $200. I think that is for the entire reel. Shenandoah is the only County I know of that will not make copies of their older deeds. My only other suggestion is to take a digital camer with you and shoot pictures of the pages you want copied.

I am new to this list so please forgive me of my ignorance. I just made a 400 mile trip to the Shenandoah Co. courthouse and found I was unable to copy records as they are on MF at the Library of Virginia. Hard lesson learned (research the research center before making such a trip). I was able to get deed book/page #, will book/page #, marriage record book/# for 3 different individuals. After reading the forms I find that it will cost in excess of $200 to get a copy of the MF copy sent to me. I was told the ILL is available. Is it available to out-of-state individuals? I just submitted one record for deeds on one individual and submitted it on-line just to see what I end up with. I am in Kentucky and it is cost-prohibited for me to make the trip to Library to get copies of records I already know the book/page #'s to. This is new to me. I have always been able to go to the local courthouses here in Kentucky and get copies of any record I need. Tennessee also-their records are on MF also but the counties have that MF on site so they can print it off for you. I understand the nature of MF vs. original copies which are in danger of being destroyed from age/use. I just need some recommendations on how to go about getting this information without going into debt doing it. Thanks for any help. ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
