This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Barthel, Gilbert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5g.2ADI/144 Message Board Post: Does anyone know how to obtain copies of probate records in Washington County? My great-uncle Oscar C Gilbert (6 Feb 1899 - Dec 1967) died in Nashville, probably intestate. I know that some of his estate was distributed to his half-sisters, who I am researching. These sisters are the children of William Gilbert and his first wife, Catherine Barthel. If you respond to me directly, I will consolidate all the information I receive and post it to the message board. Many thanks, Sara Benson Researching my Heggemeier, Gilbert, and Bauer relatives in Southern Illinois
