Kathy, I sent for copies of a will fr Shelby Co., KY a few years ago. It took them a long time to reply, but when they did, I was pleased with the thoroughness of the info sent. In addition to the will, they sent a copy of the estate inventory, and the names of people who purchased items (often are relatives). The researcher only comes in 1 or 2 times/month, so it takes a while. The County Clerk wrote a nice letter explaining the situation. I think if you're patient you will get your information. You can find the names of independent researchers for Shelby Co., KY, (and other areas), by going thru (www.cyndislist.com). Usually, a 5 hr search costs abt $50. If you've done any hunting on your own, you know that 5 hrs doesn't always find you a lot................carol
