Tim, This came at a perfect time! I would really like a search done for a will/estate settlement for my Andrew Scoles who died 1855. They didn't start keeping death certificates until later. I say this is a GREAT suggestion! Cindy Torres Owens 1023 Aquia Dr Stafford, VA 22554-1940 http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/o/w/e/Cindy-L-Owens/index.html
