do administration bonds for the period of 1845-1850 exist for Centre Co.? are they indexed, and does someone have the index for a look-up? Cornelia

Cornelia, I don't remember seeing separate Administrator's Bond books as I have other places, but you could check directly with either the PA Room (paroom@centrecountylibrary.org) or the Register of Wills (row@co.centre.pa.us). I checked the Family History Catalog to see if they had microfilmed any, and they have not. The PA Room does, however, hold all of Centre County's original probate packets. Most of the packets I have copied include the administrator's bond, but not all. These packets are indexed in a card catalog at the PA Room. I don't believe they charge to look up a name for you - just for copies, but you would have to ask to be sure. I know that doesn't directly answer the question, but I hope it at least points you in the right direction!
