Records/Archives to be digitized
I am working with our Jackson County Ohio, Probate/Common Pleas Judge and he wants to contact Familysearch to request help with digitizing Court House Records. Who can I refer him to or what information can give him?

I am not connected with FamiySearch
This FamilySearch link about Archives contains a form to fill in https://www.familysearch.org/en/archives/
In the past there was also an email address, although I don't know if it still applies archives@familysearch.org
@Áine.ní.Donnghaile, the link you gave, 2nd line in your post, for me opens at a page which says for subscribers only.
