Hey, that is great information about the English records. I am not involved in doing any of thei LDS indexing but hope to benefit from other's involvement. I think that as time goes by the states themselves will get involved in digitizing their records. I know KY has done some & I have used MO's. Hope MD, NC & SC get on the bandwagon & get their probates & church records up soon.
