I am attempting to find out when my grandparents, Edward and Lillian Malterer, moved to Elyria and bought a house on Bell Ave. I know they were there in 1918 and not there in 1915. Does anyone know if I write or call the probate court if they would look up the purchase and mail me a copy? Thanks Pat LeConte

Dear Patricia, Probate will not respond to a call or letter, they are too busy, and don't mind telling you that! I'd suggest that you hire someone listed on the Lorain County site, as a for hire researcher. I've had good luck with them. If you aren't in too big of a hurry, I'll be making a trip there in March. I don't think the record for which you are looking is in the Probate Court, but is across the street at the County Recorders office, which is where I'm planning to go. Also, if you join the Lorain County Genealogical Society, they will give you an hour of research for free, and they do make trips to downtown Elyria.
