How each county is checked
- Taken from the source. Fees, hours and rules come only from the county's own pages, 61 different websites so far. State law comes from the statute or the state vital-records page.
- Read twice. A second, independent read must agree on the fee and the hours before a county is published.
- Dated. Source checks span through , and every fact shows its own date.
- Disagreements shown. When two pages from the county differ, the page says so and links both.
