Dear Patricia, Thanks for the information. I do have the membership info for the Society and had been planning on sending in a membership as they have been so helpful to me in Florida! I did not know about the free research. I am not in a huge hurry, so if you are planning on going to the Recorders Office and have time to look up my query, I would be grateful. In the meantime, I will try and send in the membership. Thanks again, Pat On Wednesday, February 7, 2007, at 08:22 PM, Patricia wrote: > Dear Patricia, > > Probate will not respond to a call or letter, they are too busy, and > don't mind telling you that!
