    Jacki, welcome to the site. I'm moving your post into a new thread of its own so people can see what it's about more easily.

    Do you want the whole thing transcribed, or is it just a few words you're struggling with? I don't think you will be able to upload the whole will directly to this site but if you want it transcribed then shout - someone will volunteer to have you email it to them! If it's just a few words you're having trouble deciphering, then if you can get just those words into an image you should be able to attach it to a post using the paperclip.

        If you click on the "Post Reply" button, then you should get a screen with a big box to type your reply in, and lots of little symbols above it, one of them being a paperclip. If you click on it then a new window will pop up for you to add attachments to your post. But the size limits for these are quite small, which is why you would only be able to use that method to add a few words from the will. Some people have tried posting images of a whole page of a will up on their own sites or on photobucket etc and then posting a link to them, but those often seem to end up too small to read!

        This link should take you to the info on how to add attachments to a post:

        If you ordered your copy of the will from a record office then you may find that you had to agree not to post a full image of it up on the internet - did you have to sign a copyright form at all? In which case you would be best to email the will to someone anyway.
