Some years back, working from a little info I'd found, a will abstract, Marty Irons searched for me but found no will. Not long after I again whined on a message board or mail list like this one, surname or county, and a er distant relative sent me a copy of the will details. I know what that told me. At a small community library I'd helped found and 2nd a genealogy group, we find out that some folks think that historical documents or records with their family surname on them must of course belong to them, so they just take them. Same goes for the scraps in courthouses and basements, I've seen it. That makes my teeth itch.
