Dear Subscribers A recent Ancestry.com newsletter has an article concerning probates and heirship. Many of us have been puzzled by deeds and probates which list heirs, occasionally persons living in a distant state. (In Kentucky, one should always look at Commissioners deeds, begun ca 1840 or perhaps later. These generally involve heirs selling the land which they inherited.) A printable copy of this article is found on this URL. Please remove the underline marks before cutting and pasting. (Rootsweb generally rejects my e-mails which contain *raw* URLs so I have to *dress* them a bit.) _http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=831&key=A983601_ It may not be online for very long, so grab it quick!!! (If advertising shows up, ignore it. The Ancestry. newsletter is FREE to subscribers. Nearly every day there is an educational article by a professional genealogist. If you want to subscribe, use this URL and go to the very bottom of the opening webpage. Again, remove the underline punctuation before cutting and pasting. _http://[email protected]_ I personally think it is an excellent newsletter. And, if you are fortunate enough to be near an LDS Family History Center which has a subscription to Ancestry.com (some FHCs have such access), you can use the information you find advertising their products.
