ResourcesSome of the best genealogical information can be obtained from probate records. One reason is that they are one of the oldest legal records maintained and usually, they also provide a wealth of family information and relationships which act as evidence not otherwise available in the earlier years of settlement. And also because a person's estate was proven legally whether or not a person provided a Last Will and Testament. Although, probate records refers to ANY legal court records. From here, we will distinguish between: land, last will, intestate (death without last will) or other. If you would like to share your ancestor's probate records - any of the above mentioned, your contributions are welcome. They can either be hard copies that need to be transcribed & typed or files already resting in your resources somewhere - either way, send a note offering your information; please provide a source citation.
