What Our Patrons Have to Say...
I am completing a history of the Knox County courthouse on website www.courthouses.co. Could you provide me a list of the dates that previous courthouses were built in the county. Thank you.
I would like two of your calendars
I'm interested in Wilder surname, particularly pre-1830. Do you have Wilder records in this time period? Thanks!
Thank you for posting the General Tye King interview to your website this summer. It has been a pleasure to listen to those two old friends talk about their past.
My ancestors are the George Bunch family from Knox Co Ky. I would like to know what information there is about them. I am also related to the Trosper family too from Knox Co. Both families came to Missouri and settled. Thank you.
