I wrote the new Rootsweb Msg. Board tech support and asked how I could see all the wills posted to any given county site (as in the old Gen Connect Wills pages), as opposed to a specific will for a specific person. This was the answer: ~~~~ In Advanced Search, choose Message Type, Will, from the drop-down box. Unfortunately, this will include ALL wills posted to ANY board. You will need to use the Next link to reach the county you are searching. The programmers have been informed that the search needs to be localized, and we hope to correct this soon. ~~~~~~~~ All of this seems to be a work in progress. And that's pretty amazing since it's wasn't broken to begin with. It worked just fine, thank you. Looks like they've taken a simple thing and made it hard. G.

Glenna, try this: Go to AltaVista Search and put this in Keyword - exactly like this: "Wills +Newberry" and I believe you will come up with what you are seeking.
