SEARCH FOR A PROBATE RECORD BY NAME
A list of individuals in our probate index whose surname begins with the characters you enter, will be returned to you.
If the results of this search finds a Probate, Conservatorship, Guardianship or Inheritance Tax File you are interested in viewing, please visit the LSCGG research library at 115 W. Glover St., Ottawa, IL to view and/or copy the Probate, Conservatorship, Guardianship or Inheritance Tax File.
If you are unable to visit the LaSalle County Genealogy Guild in person, you may request a copy of the file be sent to you via email or regular mail.
ALERT: the LSCGG currently has a policy of fulfilling research requests by the emailing, as attachments, of PDF scans of all types of requests for documents; if a researcher prefers that his/her request be fulfilled by the postal mailing of paper copies, please INCLUDE in your request this preference for paper. Suggested contributions for PDF attachments are the same as for paper copies. View pros and cons of digital versus paper copies. A listing of estate records found only in bound books is now available. VIEW NEW "RED BOOK" FILES |
(Note: A file copy may contain from as few as 4 to more than 40 pages)
To request a copy of a file by mail, first send an email to the LaSalle County Genealogy Guild. Include the NAME, YEAR, BOX, FILE and TYPE of the probate of which you wish to have a copy. Be sure to include your Name, Address, phone number and email address.
Then, to expedite your order, send your information
