Before You Visit That Courthouse

Before you leave for a remote courthouse or research facility, determine their hours, copy policies, digital camera policy, etc. Better to know before you leave than after you get there.

I’ve found it helpful to contact the remote courthouse or research facility beforehand to identify and verify the exact location of the records I’m seeking. It’s also helpful to identify the person(s) with whom you will be dealing with – more personal approach. Be sure to send a Thank You afterwards, especially if the staff were especially helpful.
