Researchers should check the computer catalog for materials cataloged under the name of the locality (county, city or town.) Also, the Family History Library Catalog is a good source for local records. Microfilm records held by the LDS library can be loaned through the Newberry Library. Inquire at the genealogy desk if you are interested in this option.
