    3. I visited a Probate office today, to consult the calendar for entries more recent than those currently available in the ancestry database. When I have been there before, the more recent stuff is available on a computer provided in the reception area. Today the pc had a sign on it saying the service was 'unavailable'. Bummer, cos I don't get to a Probate Office often, but these things happen. The young man at the desk told me its a server problem and has been going on for about 2 weeks. He also said that in 'the summer' (are we going to have one in England this year? that would be good!) The Probate Service is going to make the calendar available online and there will be a facility whereby you can order and download wills/grants online. Super! But having searched the web, I can't find current details of an ETA for this. Just hits about a year old that say its in the pipeline/planning stage. Does anyone have any further info? I would like something to look forward to :-) -- Tickettyboo
