Diana Marchese, Trumbull County recorder, stands with a 100-year-old index book for property deeds at the recorder’s office. The book is an example of the good condition they are in now, and Marchese hopes they will stay that way. But she expects the title searchers who use them to increase in number in the weeks to come, as about 80,000 Trumbull County acres are leased at once for shale drilling.
