In this episode Coleen shows us the very popular Probate Packets. These records contain the last will and testament of the deceased as well as administrative documents around the settling of the estate. The records in our collection date from 1817 to 1976 and some of 1989. And we have boxes and boxes of them!
We hold probate packets for the years 1800-1976 in our Collection. This webinar shows you how to find a probate packet and why they are so useful for research.
