Hi Nancy, Thanks for the reply. I want to make sure I have done this right. I checked the web site and it indicates that an Orphans Court record index is available for the period 1846-1959. Looks like this index is not on line but can be searched at the Archives. Does that all sound correct? I also appears that records exist for an earlier period that are not indexed but are available for researches. Is this correct? I am asking these questions because I am trying to get to DE in Oct. for some research. I am headed down to my local LDS to order the film. Thanks again, John Nancy M.
