I have two probate dates, 1872 and 1887 (I have the date and month also). I was told by a court employee, "there is very little in those drawers." I'd be happy to pay the search fee, but I wonder if I should just go up there and look myself. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
