This may seem like a daft question to some of you but exactly how do you use the IGI to search for wills? It has christening, marriage and death/burial records, and certain censuses but I cannot find anything at the familysearch.org site for searching wills!

Hello Roy, When you enter the searches for IGI there is a question for any information on the person you are looking for. If you tap into "Any" you will find wills listed. However through the help of dyfed roots i have now realised that the names of will makers are not always correct as they can be will beneficiaries or debtors or creditors to the estate of the deceased.

Roy, Select 'other' under the Events, instead of Baptism, marriage etc. Dai Roy Davies wrote: This may seem like a daft question to some of you but exactly how do you use the IGI to search for wills?
