Court Records–Need Information

 Fairfax County, VA, Courthouse, 1863

So, you need to know about searching court records.  There are many commercial databases that provide access to court websites for search records electronically.  There are also many free sites that allow access to court records, sometimes direct to court’s index of records.

With some trepidation, I suggest to look at Court Reference.  If you can get past the advertisements, you can find information about courts in every state, the records online and what is available.  Check it out.
