Great news! SCCGS has received the long-desired, necessary, permissions to begin purchasing Probate-related microfilm for use at the Belleville Public Library! There are somewhere between 800 - 900 rolls in all, so the Society will have to acquire these over the years as the budget allows and through donations. Each roll costs $20.00 and will be silver positive film - the longest lasting. This just happened so we have no details on how long it will take to receive the first batch and prepare them for use. Rest assured the Mail List will be one of the first to know when the first rolls appear in the Library. Should anyone like to donate $20.00 towards purchase of a probate roll, donations may be made/mailed to the St. Clair County Genealogical Society - Probate Project P.O. Box 431 Belleville, IL 62222-0431 We will put an acknowledment on each box (one person, one couple, or one family per box; different person, couple or family on second box if you like; or same acknowledment on several boxes) upon your request.
