Thanks for the welcome Ann!
The record I am in need of is a probate from 1824 for Jeremiah Stinchfield. He died in Farmington which was in Kennebec County until 1838 I believe.

Hi Ward,
No this was not for a certified copy. Just an FYI it is for Jeremiah Stinchfield in 1824.
Thanks,

No Chris, they sure didn't. I guess I am comparing this to an estate an probate file I recently obtained from North Carolina. It was 102 pages and they only charged me $32.00 and that included postage!
Before I get on the phone with the…

Was that for a certified copy?

Wow, that does sound excessive. I haven't dealt with that office, so I can't tell you whether you're being overcharged. Did they tell you how many pages are in the file?

Sheri, I believe that price is correct for probate records, even for a resident of Maine. There is no seperate price for non-residents. No, it's not fair, I agree with you! I live in Augusta and a few months ago I needed a copy of my birth…

- Sheri, I believe that price is correct for probate records, even for a resident of Maine. There is no seperate price for non-residents. No, it's not fair, I agree with you! I live in Augusta and a few months ago I needed a copy of my birth certificate with the state seal, I went to the office of vital records, in Augusta, and was quoted the price of $70.00 plus $10.00 for the seal. The lady whispered that it would only cost $10.00, if I got the birth cert. from the town that I was born in. So, if you can get this from the original town that would be great! but if it's a "probate" issue, that can be extremly expensive. My sympathies. Bye the way, welcome to this site!!!
