Guides Explain pre-1858 English Probate Jurisdictions
“A complete collection of guides depicting pre-1858 English Probate Jurisdictions will be available online through FamilySearch. The probate records of England are among the best genealogical sources for direct evidence of relationships. They are also among the most neglected sources because of the many variations in jurisdictions which governed the probating of wills prior to 1858. The EJP guides provide a wealth of useful information.”
