Good evening all, I was wondering if anyone could help with a translation of the following found on film# 941451 MO Gasconade Probate Record 1877-1891 pg 630 May 11, 1882 " In the matter of the estate of Friedrich Helmig deceased last will and testament approved. The last will and testament of Friedrich Helmig deceased probated in "vacation" is by the court approved" What does vacation mean..... I have co-workers, etc... does anyone have a clue as too what this is trying too say?? Anything would be appreciated Thank you Fay Mesa

Hi I believe this is "vocation" instead of vacation. Vocation means one's regular calling or business. In this case it would mean while court was being held. Lucille susyq@fidnet.com

Lucille, Thank you so much the definition, that makes more sense now. Thank you again.

Excuse me - I can't help interjection here. Vacation was correct. It was simply saying that approval was given during a time the court was not meeting likewise vacation, and the court is now following up - crossing t and dotting i - to make sure that all know it has been approved. history@usmo.com Fay & Ed Mesa wrote: > Lucille, > > Thank you so much the definition, that makes more sense now.

It means will was probated while court was in recess. Probably handled by Clerk of Court and then presented to court for its approval when court reconvened.
