How does one go about finding a will - as I am in Canada I have no idea re USA rules. I am looking for the will of Charles R Hanson who died Feb 26, 1970 at Cleveland. If possible to obtain I will gladly pay for the service. sincerely GAIL in Ontario -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Now I have no idea if this was a national practice, but I think it would be. All wills are sent to the county clerk to be filed at the time they are made. After a person dies, the wills are probated and recorded again. The best place to start would be with the County Courthouse. You go to the Will Index book which is alphabetical by name, and gives the location in the Wills book. I imagine they were typed in the 70s, all the early ones are usually beautifully handwritten. Hope that helps. I imagine a call to the County Clerk's office would be your best bet. Somewhere in USGenweb they should have that address, and maybe even instructions on getting a will.
