If there is a file, there will be a page in there showing the names and addresses of the heirs/beneficiaries and you can order a copy of the will and that page by mail. Be warned in advance that there may be a hefty search fee. Maybe William also died in that same county? I could not find William listed on the SSDI--please mention his birth date so I can find his listing. If there is no probate information available, please contact me at my alternate e-mail address, tiekh@yahoo.com, if you are interested in my doing heir research for a fee. You will get current addresses and phone numbers and backup documentation. K.
