Wills must go through Probate Court, and be "proved" to the court. There they become part of the public record. Now they are usually put on microfilm, and copies can be made for you.
Go to the Clerk of the Circuit (or whatever they call it where you are) Court and tell her what you want. You will need to provide some approximate dates.

They should have informed someone of the location of their will. Check with other relatives, close friends and any family lawyer they may have used. Check their bank safety deposit box. Otherwise, you must consider the possibility that they never made a will.

Where ever they stored it. Try a family attorney and desk drawers.
Bank deposit boxes, another favorite. And if the were recorded, try the county clerk's office.
