I cannot thank this list enough for the wonderful suggestions. I went to the Green County site that Alice suggested, and lo and behold, they have a probate index that you can call in to (via modem, not internet). I found the record below and I went back to the archives page to request the record! Yippeeee!! Does anyone understand what the DTC Destruct Date means though? I sure hope that doesn't mean they destroyed anything! Thanks! Lori GREENE COUNTY PROBATE COURT INDX FILE INFORMATION INDEX.......... 101807 NAME........... MANNING, ELIZABETH M. CATEGORY.......
