While this primarily consists of land records, we also maintain records of marriages, power of attorneys, military discharges, and some historical birth and death records from 1856-1906. Currently, almost half of Washington counties are on this system. Having many of the counties on the same system makes it convenient for our customers to perform searches.
Many people come in and are familiar with our system.
You can come into our office and look on the computer to find the index for recorded documents back to January 1, 1988. We have been working on a project that will attach images back to that time frame as well. Our eventual goal is to be able to have computer indexes and images for all our records. This is expected to take several years since we have records back to the 1800's.
