Calling Town Clerks

Some people wonder how I got certain information and I can tell you how. Call town clerks! I realize that's easier said than done because I'm not sure how it works in other parts of the states (or world) and maybe I do have it easier. I have only called town clerks in Vermont and all were certainly helpful even if some didn't have any information. It was only Burlington who has told me that they can't (or refuse to?) give information via phone and that I'd have to go in person to get what I need.

What I do wish is that I jotted down information on every town clerk I called and why I called. It's been months and months now since I've called any (I certainly don't do it for fun!) but I find myself wondering who I called to get certain information or who I was planning to call for some bit of information.

I know some people like to think that everything is achievable through the internet but I learned the hard way that it isn’t entirely true. Sometimes you just have to take the old-fashioned route and actually drive somewhere in person to get what you need. The horror.
