Comments:  Assessor's office may have microfilmed a long time ago.  In circuit Clerk's office, records for 1960-1983 were microfilmed, and the records are not clear, unreadable and the film is not good, but they have a reader.  For the County Clerk's office, records for the 1960s were microfilmed by LDS – copies stored in the safe and the vault (deed, births, deaths, marriages).
