Do you remember stories of fires or floods destroying adoption-related records in public places?

Hi,

Do you think it’s a coincidence that disasters seemed to hit courthouses, agencies, hospitals, etc. places with adoption-related infomation at a higher rate of frequency than other places?

Do you think some of the disaster stories could have been attempts to prevent others from attempting to search for information?

If you have been told your records were destroyed, are you aware records usually exist in more than one location?

Thanks for all thoughts on this.

Is there any way to search public records for free online?

I’m interested in searching for my birth parents through public records before I try to go through the agency. I don’t want to spend money on a website if I’m not guaranteed results.
I’m looking in Texas, so any website for San Antonio public records would be a great help.
My google searches have been unsuccessful.
