Would someone please be good enough to remind me how to go about getting a copy of a will for FH purposes. I have done so many years ago but can't remember how I went about it. I have found the death and probate on Ancestry but need to see the actual will. Grateful thanks. Jennifer

Through the Probate Office. They are now downloaded rather than posted.
