Any tips would be very appreciated. Brenda, I've used the Newberry Courthouse (actually, an adjacent building) to look at probate records. Was your grandfather living there at the time of his death, or did he leave there before he died? It might help to know what kinds of information about your grandfather you're looking for. For instance, you might find useful information at the Newberry County Library, or the library at Newberry College (which has microfilm of the Newberry newspapers).
