| Probate Records: A Research
Summary |
Probate records are court records dealing with the
distribution of a person's estate after death. Information
recorded may include the death date, names of heirs and guardian,
relationship, residence, inventories of the estate (including
trade and household goods), and names of witnesses. These records
are very helpful because probate actions were recorded long
before birth, marriage, and death registration |
