Adina, is there an index for Wills in Butler County on the web
somewhere that I could review, i.e., how did you obtain the Will of
Mr. Mills? I'm seeking MUTCHNERS and ENYARTS in Butler County and
sure could use some hints :)

Thanks in advance,

Lynne K. Streich
First frost on the pumpkins this week. Beautiful!
