Does anyone know if these records are on-line? Short of writing to the probate office there (I'm assuming that's a possibility) are there any other methods of procuring this will or its transcription?" Hi Steve, Putting the probate records of Plymouth County online would be an enormous undertaking, wouldn't it? Who would pay for that and why? That's a real question--I don't know the facts myself. But the probate records are on microfilm--many, many reels of microfilm--and can be rented for a nominal fee through a local Family History Center.
