GEM: Probate Records with Jana Broglin, CG
How to Find Probate Records:
Research the local jurisdiction
Find where wills are filed
Look in Index of Testators or General Index to Wills
Request the packet
Jana's Tips:
Don't overlook Vouchers / Receipts
Ask for numerous short pages to be photocopied onto one page
Just because you find a guardianship record, don't assume both parents are deceased.
