Several times, the staff have directed me to the copier and let me make my own copies. I didn't mind that a bit, as I realize that making copies for us genealogists is not their primary job. Most courthouse staff people are very understanding about our passion and are very willing to help. Yes, the suggestions previously made (digital camera and copy stand, etc.) will work, but may not be necessary. Ann Barrell Alfaro
