There are sites that will tell you with a straight face Franklin College has all the Baptist records and DePauw University has all the Methodist records for Indiana. Find out if the courthouse burned and when. I d put my bets on the local history buff as the best source. Find out when the offices open and when they close. And in rural counties, they may close early one day or close for lunch.
Hours can change.
My memory is that the courthouse closed for an hour at noon until recent years. If you are from out of the area, you better brush up on the concepts of Slow Time and Fast Time. Just remember, the exemption to the law requiring states to use Daylight Saving Time is called the Indiana amendment. Fast Time is daylight time and Slow Time is standard time. All of the New Albany and Jeffersonville area does switch to Daylight time, Versailles stays on standard time as does most of Jefferson County.
