Blanco
County Clerk P.O. Box 65, Johnson City, TX 78636 Phone (830)868-7357. Right now they are
charging $1.00 per page for regular xerox copies
of marriage, birth and death records plus a
SASE. They may decide to increase the price if they
get a hugh number of requests.
Birth, Death and Veteran
records are closed for 75 years each. Luckily the marriage
records are open. they begin in 1876. Probate records start
in 1876. Those requests have to go to the County Clerk
directly. In regard to the Birth, Death and Veteran lookups
the Clerk's office charges $5.00 per search and they are done as they
have time. If you have any questions, let me know.
Records may be searched if they are 50
years after birth date or 25 years after death date.
Marriage records begin in 1876 Death records begin 1903 Birth records begin in 1903 Probate Records begin in 1876 but those records
will require the
County Clerk to look for them. They are in storage at the Annex
if copies are requested. Also, Karen Newman, the County Clerk
told me the other day that the government has put a 75 year wait on
Veteran records. That is a long time!!!
As I said I will be glad to lookups
for people
on a once a week basis. That way I can go on my day off an look
up a bunch a one time, which I won't mind. But they will need to
send first and last names and a general idea of a time period. I
will not be charging for this service if anyone asks. (Although I would
love to do family research for a living, but that will not be.)
If you have any
questions,
let me know.
