Barb Reininger created an index from information send to her by the Floyd County Court Clerk in 2005.

 

What you might find in a chancery record:

“These types of court document are useful when researching genealogical informant and land or estate division and may contain correspondence, list of heirs, or vital statistics, among other items. Cases in chancery often address estate & business disputes, debt, the resolution of land disputes, and divorce.”

Here is what you must do to get a hard copy of a Chancery Record.

 

Enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope along with your request that includes information given in the index.

 

Make check payable to:
Clerk of Court

 

Send to:
Circuit Court of Floyd County
100 East Main St, Room 200
Floyd, VA  24091


Clerk of Courts phone # is:
1-540-745-9330

 

The cost is $.50/page (in 2005). These documents can be very lengthy & some pages may not be needed for your purposes. For this reason, the Clerk of Court encourages you to come to the court house to view the document before ordering. Considering the distance I would have to travel, the travel costs far outweigh the cost of multiple pages. For others like myself, call the Clerk of Court & ask how best to order by snail mail when the cost is not known.
