What archives?? I searched here and only two posts came up...this one and another but nothing about passwords.

Thanks!

You may also want to check out your local library for older/historic county maps. Also, try the local/nearest university and perhaps the county courthouse. Best of luck to you. Happy Hunting!

Oh yes! It's also a good idea to join the local historical society. They will most likely have an annual membership dues, but the wealth of information you will have access to is well worth it.
