>I believe most of the Wills of Ireland were also destroyed in the Four >Courts incident, Fintan. The National Archives in Kevin Street have index books for wills. Spotted a will from my great-grandfather from Keel-Kilgarrylander from 1860's (near castlemaine) and retrieved it with help from a professional. It was lodged in Limerick office in 1800's so just wondering if other Kerry wills survived? Initially when I filled out a 'seach request' in National Archives they couldnt find it but decided to hire a professional for one and only time for an hour and she found it. AFAIK kerry wills would have been deposited in Limerick or Cork. They may have been moved to four courts but some must have survived. In index books in National Archives cover all 'perogative'? wills for whole country. They are quite easy to search through from what I remember but just give a name and area.
