Hi Joan, Answer to second email. There are lots of things on the Worcester County web site but I am not aware that the index to the probate records is there. I'll check out this family first in the VRs to see what we find and then- when I get to AAS, I can check the Worcester County Probate Index to see if there is anything on file. That way, if there is, you will have a probate # to use when you write to the Registry of Probate. Now- remind me next week please? Hate to have this get lost in the papers here! Jan
