Cathy, Thanks so much for your quick response and helpful information.? There is so little information on this family that it sometimes seems as though they didn't really exist.

Could an heir to an estate be a?witness the the inventory of the deceased person's estate?? In other words, if my ancestor, John Doe, dies without a will, can John Doe's son sign as a witness on?the inventory of his father's estate? I've known it to happen, and have been challenged for the example by others (can't remember; too many records in my files) but it wasn't "usual". I wouldn't discount it as a possibility, but keep looking for other evidence. Cathy Marin Co., CA **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
