per guardianship record and they will be mailed/emailed to you. It is your responsibility to transcribe them and send to me to be deposited in the USGenWeb Archives and/or to send to the local county sites or state file managers as appropriate.

They will not be posted. It is YOUR responsibility.

PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO ONE DETAIL:
Some records list more than one minor on same page. You need to order and pay for ONE, (not 2 or 3 if minors are listed on same page number)

Order form is available - go to Order Instructions above

TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN COPYING THE LINE INFORMATION. VERIFY THE INFORMATION.

Processing time is normally 2 weeks to 6 weeks turnaround from the DAY the order is received, not the day the order was mailed. Backlog notice is listed on "News" page.

You get a photocopy of guardianship record including any attached proceedings. Not a mere transcription, not a mere index information.

Please check the Rootsweb Message boards to be sure the guardianship you wanted had already been posted or not before ordering, to eliminate duplicate orders. The quick links are through each state list of counties.

The format of the will testator indexes (to help you understand the columns) is:
Column 1: Name of Minor/Heir
Column 2: Name of Deceased (^ = after the name, living father, grandfather or somebody else left something)
Column 3: Name of Petitioner (* = after the name, same person as living father)
Column 4: Place of residence of the Deceased
Column 5: County #, Volume # and Page #

1. Search for the county you want and click it.
2. Click on the appropriate alphabetical groupings under the county line.
3. Search the entries
4. Copy the entire line carefully.
5. Write down the name of the county and the state.
