Of the ones I can read I'll put in context, I've tried various website to no avail. These may be fairly simple for most as this is the first time I've looked at a will that old. Hi, I have a wonderful contact whose mother's job is tran scribing wills as a hobby with no charge.. Why Don't you try her. I will sen d you her address off line. JUDY ELKINGTON [N.
