They are there. Do a place search under Perry, Alabama. Probate has its own category. Listed under that heading are: Estate Cases, 1840-1920; Orphans Court Records, 1821-59; Probate Records, 1859-1929; and will records, 1821-32.

I did not find these records listed in the online LDS site. I do confess, however, I had not looked there until today. We have a local LDS FHC and I use it all the time. Such a great help !!!

Again, thank you so much for the information ! I have been looking for tax assessor records. The LDS website www.familysearch.org does not appear to have tax assessor records as early as 1848. Using specific land descriptions I have researched the tax record books from 1848 to 1860 at the Alabama Department of Archives and History, Montgomery. They are wonderful records if you need to locate an ancestor or simply just learn about their life at that time. There are a couple of personal property tax books in that time frame that are wonderful to read as well. (in that time frame). Thank you for your gift of, not only your time, but your information !
