Could somebody tell me date range for records at Union County for probate & wills.
Marriages are pretty clear, it's P&W that's got me confused. Short of going
there yourself for old records, write to the Clerk of Courts at Liberty Indiana, and
request. Copy costs are $1 per page, send this, your list of names, and a self addressed
stamped envelope. Research is not top priority but staff try to accommodate your request
when time allows. With this understanding, I mailed my list with money, after a couple of
weeks I received a response. I received a marriage record which I could cite Book and
Page Number, found on Ancestry, otherwise I wouldn't have had such detail. But I got
no records for probate & wills. The death range on my list was 1875-1953. It was a
long list, a wide range, I anticipated long delay. The official website for Union County,
Indiana, doesn't have a link for archived records. However, information for records
can be found at a site which may not be ac!

http://www.union-county.lib.in.usResources in the county.htm, but this is really
incomplete and doesn't seem to be maintained. What I would like to know is the date
range for all records maintained by the UC Clerk of Courts for Union County, Indiana,
With this in mind, I think I can figure out the rest. I do think I need to visit there
myself and research the records. I just find it very hard to believe the sparsity of
records that exist between the years of 1875-1953. Thank you.
