Sampubco don't have Erie County wills online because it is time consuming checking the surrogate records which is only system in use by Erie County. Hope you can afford Erie County clerk's charge of $75.00 or more for the file you find. Sampubco's price is a bargain compared to New York's authorized charge of 75 to 95 dollars per record. The probate index for Erie County is spread over 10 rolls. And the indexes are not intense in these rolls, rather they are too spaced-spreaded. More like double or triple spaced. And the Family History Library has microfilms to Case File #26270. Any case beyond that, you will have to contact Erie County for them. David Samuelsen This page answers that question. Scroll down to Wills. http://www.buffaloresearch.com/vital.html Good luck! --- CLARK1528@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 4/25/2005 2:04:28 PM Central Daylight Time, > > amyalbers@charter.net writes: > I am sending this to each listserve to which I subscribe in > hopes of getting > answers specific to each one.
