Many of the key records essential for genealogical research were created by local county or town governments. These include court, land and property, naturalization and citizenship, probate, taxation, and vital records. The county and town courthouses are the primary repositories of these valuable records. (However, some courthouse records have been destroyed or transferred to state archives.) The FamilySearch Library has copies of many of these important records on microfilm. | Many of the key records essential for genealogical research were created by local county or town governments.
