Review by Melinda Heath - The site holds a lot of information for Holmes County researchers. If you need to know if your ancestor owned land in Holmes County, go here. If there is a record here, you will get to see a .tif image of the record (You may need to download thier image viewer). There are a few other states listed also. Be forewarned that this is a for profit site. Viewing the images is free, but if you want actual copies of the records you find here, you will have to order and pay for them.
