Was wondering if someone might do a look up for me for a will for John Wallace. On a index for wills I found the following. Wallace , John E 1850 GU scdC p. 163 this was taken from the index of Wills in Ohio. Any help would be appreciated. linda michel

I suggest you write or call the Guernsey Co genealogical society, which is supposed to have some of those old probate packets. (see the web site for contact info: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/ ) You may also want to call/write to the Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division to see if they have anything. I have a phone number handy for them (740 432 9262). In a case I was looking at we couldn't find much, tho. We found only the minute book entry(?) Well, not sure what it was exactly, but it consisted of a single sheet that looks like the court clerk's notes about what was done and what court orders to write up, over the 10-yr period (!) it took to settle an intestate estate. No appraisal, no admin letter, no petitions or lists of heirs. These other records perhaps disappeared over the years. Anyone else have any ideas? Are there any experts on early Guernsey Co court records out there?
