While using a search engine to obtain an address, I hoped, for an author of
some books of Louisa Co. deed books of early times and also some vestry
books, I tripped upon this website, which lists the holdings (partial, it
says) of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Most of the records
are films of the original handwritten books, but there are a few
publications. Those items which begin with a Dewey decimal number like
975.... are books and cannot be borrowed. (But if you want a photocopy of
the index, at about 25 cents a page, see your local FHC for a form requesting
photocopies.)

Take a look

If you are near an LDS family history center (over 3,800 world-wide I learned
today), you may order, for a small fee, the films held by LDS, and in some
cases, if the book has been filmed, you may also order that film.

Check with your local public librarian to learn whether that library may have
an agreement with FHL in SLC for interlibrary loans. I understand this is in
effect in some places.

PS If anyone has a new e-mail address for Rosalie Edith Davis of Manchester,
MO, will you please share it with the list. She is the abstractor of many
early records of Louisa Co.--and they are indexed, and in some cases, there
are maps of the time period.
