This list will give you an idea of what kinds of records are available on microfilm. I'm not sure whether they do interlibrary loan to out-of-state libraries. (Be sure to get the whole address, in case it breaks into two lines in the message.) Virginia State Library -- Index to Microfilm Records http://www.lva.lib.va.us/collect/localrecs/locrecs-index.htm Did you check the Albemarle Co. page on Rootsweb to see whether the info. is given on how to get documents from the county. That information is somewhere on the web (a site for all the counties in the country) -- you might try Cyndi's list. It's also in major genealogy how-to books.

Are Will Books still at the Courthouse? If so, how can I contact them for copies and what are their fees via mail requests for copies? I need to request copies for three different ancestors. If not at the courthouse, who has the Will Books on microfilm and how can I reach them via mail to request copies? Also, what type of record books or record keeping did Albemarle County use between 1787-1802 to probate said Wills or Estates that were intestate? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
