Is it legally possible for a man who died in 1756 in Maryland to inherit anything from his father, whose Will was written in 1780 and probated ca 1790 in Maryland?

I've signed up for a year with ancestry.com and am wondering about how to set up a system to track what I have searched, copied, perhaps "need to research", contacts, etc. Any ideas? Nancy "NancyR" <nan...@nospam.net>

Deleting an error in unwanted spouse
|
| |
I am working with an old FTM program. I mistakenly added an additional spouse. Now I do not know how to eliminate this error. I could delete the name of the unwanted spouse and now it prints out as unknown spouse. How do I correct this error? Thanks in advance. Bob ranhew...@webtv.net (Hewitt)

Clarification of legal terminology

Anyone know of an on-line reference, similar to the CWSS, where I can check names to verify service in the US-Mexico war of the 1840s or the US-whoever war in the 1890s? Thanks! Cheryl singhals <singh...@erols.com>
