Years ago when I first started research, I wanted to get access to some of the old Wayne Co. land and court ledger books....land, inventories, probate, etc.

I was directed to the old county bldg. and descended into the cavernous basements there.

I was kinda appalled....little to no order, old ledgers tossed about the floor on piles, etc. I think I spent 3-4 hours down there before I just gave up.

The point.
Does anyone know if those books are still in the old county bldg., has the place been cleaned up & ordered, and did the Mormons or someone ever microfilm them?

Thanks...
