Duane.... It's the "Application for Guardianship" I'm looking for. I'm not sure that would be in the probate record.

I'm sure open to them right now. :^) Fred On Mon Aug 21 11:10:27 2000, TXWILLIA-L@rootsweb.com wrote: > Try the County courthouse for probate records > > Duane Windsor > Carson City, NV > duanewin@gateway.net > my Windsor -Hunt Web Site > http://WindsorFamilyGenealogy.homestead.com/index.html > > =================== > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <fdg@flash.net> > To: <TXWILLIA-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, August 21, 2000 8:54 AM > Subject: Re: [TXWILLIA] GARRISON surname; Red River Co.
