"Probate Records: Wills and a Whole Lot More". Probate records can be some of the richest genealogical resources. Yes, they can contain wills, but often the best information comes from the other records in the packets—and our ancestors didn’t even have to die to make an appearance in a probate action. Learn about how to find probate records online and mine them for genealogical gems.
General Business Meeting

View your findings through a unique lens, which helps to prompt new questions and further avenues for research.
