I was reading the thread about finding a will and I have one Im looking for.  Where would it be digitized if it was online?  I looked on familysearch.org but didn't find one.  I saw on the old fulton webpage that she had one.   Her name was Ingeborg Osterby and she died June 8, 1947 in Queens, NY.  Thanks.

In any of a number of places. I think the original post was about Familysearch. Documents are constantly being transcribed there, and the work is amazing, but it would be a miracle if they were all there. Individual counties across the country are beginning to digitize old records of varying ages, some recent, some very old, and you will find them on the county web sites; sometimes the specific department such as deeds or probate. Google can often find them. They're occasionally at Ancestry. Brief overviews of probate contents for some areas, like Pennsylvania Dutch areas of settlement in Pennsylvania, have been available for a long time; they were on CD and many are now at Ancestry.

I would be interested in an index looking for wills from 1960-1980.

Go to the familysearch page on Queens and you may find a link there that will help. I imagine you may have to send away to local resources for such a current will--probably a court. Figuring out WHICH court might be tough, and getting info on the phone from NYC folks not always easy either. Last time I called there for something I got the run around with 20 phone #'s til someone finally found the right one for me. Having worked for the State of WA I understand that as there are SO many state offices and we never had a phone listing for all the state agencies one would call. Eventually you'll run into someone with the answer. I'd start early in the morning and NEVER on a Monday or Friday :-) On Monday people are grouchy and on Friday they just want to go home. Also lost of folks work 4 10's these days so many people are off Mondays and Fridays. I try never to call anyone on a Monday as in any office those are particularly heavy work days and people are busy and grouchy...not a good combination LOL NY State is very strict about putting info of recent events online--you may have to prove a relationship to the person--NY strict about a LOT of things. I cannot even get my birth certificate from them. I only have a piece of paper that says my birth certificate is on file with them. ID theft a very big problem everywhere, but NYC probably tops the list. I hope that helps.
