Yes, it's on the Archives page on the Rootsweb Northampton County site: here's the url http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/northampton/wills.htm It's "Archives - Wills" and you'll see links to specific wills (Caspar Ritter, Ludwig Baumiller) as well as below those, an index to will abstracts in three parts: A-G, H-O, P-Z, posted by Marilyn (not me). The previous poster incorrectly believed - as I did when I first encountered the site - that if a name appeared, that meant that there was a will on file at the Northampton County courthouse. That is not correct. If a name appears on this list, that means the name appears somewhere within the online listing. These are will abstracts and the other names index appear somewhere within the abstracts, as heirs, witnesses, etc. Marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roslyn McLendon" <nonny984@insightbb.com> To: "Marilyn Souders" <msouders@nyc.rr.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 11:22 PM Subject: Re: [PANORTHA-L] Finding a will in Northampton Co. > is there a site for wills?

does anyone know if the witnesses to these wills were usually family members, acquaintances, or just someone that happened to be there at the time? Thanks, roslyn -----
