PROBATE SEARCHES: $10.00 per search, which covers photocopies. We have a copy of the probate index published by the Schuyler County Jail Museum, and will check it to see if your ancestor is listed. Contact Ken Huffman for this information, which you can then supply to the Circuit Court Clerk. Send only written requests to the clerk (be brief and to the point), with a check for full payment. Probate searches can take time - be patient. |
