Title: Indexes Are The Key To Unlocking The Records (Presented at the 4th WAC Conference)

Title: Probate Where There's A Will or Not (Presented at the 3rd WAC Conference)

Summary: The Probate process took place to find heirs and creditors, whether there was a will (testate) or not (intestate). Various records may be found in probate files, including wills, bonds, petitions, accounts, inventories, administrations, orders, decrees, and distributions. These documents are valuable to genealogists and should not be neglected. Watch Presentation
