Another County Record Collection is Completed !

The indictments record group includes over 30,000 individual documents, spanning the years 1744 through 1902.  While a genealogy researcher may not be thrilled to find out that their great, great, great, great uncle was a thug, that same document may be the only key to unlocking the mystery of that uncle's very existence. And there are a multitude of other ways that researchers can use this collection to study law, technology, women's history, economics, and yes, even crime.
