---------------------
NOR does not cover "digging through public records".  In fact, we  allow 
"digging through public records".  This is not original research,  this is 
source-based research.  Original research only covers "statements  of fact" you have 
generated in some way, originally, that is as the first  originator.  Not as 
the second or later.  A public record is the first  published originator of any 
"statement of fact" contained therein, and so, in  using these, you are not 
doing original research.
