Summary
"This comprehensive guide by experts at the National Archives makes will research available to all, from the novice family historian to the seasoned researcher seeking clarification on complexities. It makes sense of the records and the institutions to approach, as well as the indexes and the digital resources increasingly available. It also covers disputes over wills and administrations in depth, not just in the church courts but also in the different types of civil courts. Legal terminology and Latin phrases are translated, and the text is illustrated throughout with examples of the records including wills."--BOOK JACKET.
