This course examines some aspects related to English probate records. The most important probate documents are wills, inventories, administrations, guardianships, and Death Duty Registers.

Wills are a valuable source for genealogists because they usually mention family members, sometimes two or three generations. They’re often the best or only means of verifying a family tree compiled from civil registration, census, or parish registers. 

This course also offers suggestions and tips when using FamilySearch and other websites who hold documents and how to interpret the documentation you find.
