Why buy the region rather than single states
The Midwest has the strongest surviving community-newspaper network in the country, and the majority of its rural records originate in county weeklies rather than metro dailies. That makes breadth of sourcing - not volume - the limiting factor on completeness here. The region also concentrates farmland estates, where a single death frequently triggers a multi-heir land transfer, which is why probate and land researchers tend to work several of these states together rather than one at a time.
What's in each file
