In the past I have visited the County Clerks website www.county-clerks.org , but not often
since in New England most vital records are not kept at the county level
(except for Connecticut, where I have very few ancestors). There was a contest at this
website last month to vote for genealogy blogs, and Nutfield Genealogy came in
second place! Woot! Woot! Thank you very much Adam Murphy, the author
of this website!
The first place winner at this contest is The Memoir Writing
Blog at www.womensmemoirs.com with
437 votes. At second place, Nutfield
Genealogy received 196 votes, and in third place Genealogy: Beyond the BMD, www.genealogybeyondthebmd.blogspot.ca
had 167 votes. Thank you to everyone
who voted for me. Visit the other blogs
on this list. There are some good ones I didn’t know about, including The
Memoir Writing Blog which is new to me.

And don’t forget to visit the County Clerks website http://www.county-clerks.com/ It was founded by Adam Murphy of New
York. Last year he visited Salt Lake
City for a ski trip and had an unexpected layover. He spent the day exploring and visited the
LDS Family History Library. Adam had no
idea that such a place existed. He also found that genealogy was a fascinating
pastime. Upon returning to New York he
continued to research his family, and the idea for the County Clerks website
was born.
In order to obtain original records, a genealogist must
contact a county clerk. But it can be
difficult to google which clerk, and how to contact them properly for
certificates. Adam realized that there was no one website which consolidated
all this information.
Adam also told me that he will be switching domain names to
CountyOffice.org soon, so stay posted at www.county-clerks.org
for more information on the move to the new website. He also plans to expand to more data useful
for genealogy such as district attorneys, sheriffs, treasurers, jails and other
local county research contact information.
Thank you to all my readers who voted for me, and thank you
Adam!
