Hats off to those who created the "Early Wills of Orange County NY"... a monumental undertaking. God bless them for what they left for us. Recent visits to surrogate court in Goshen have discovered that there are wills not covered in this book at all. OCGS has no info on the contents of these wills....the names, years, libers and pages are shown for information only.

I'd like to add my thanks to the volunteers who find these gems for us! Your efforts are greatly appreciated, especially by those of us living in the far corners of the country!

Hi, Mr. Irons ~ I forgot to ask you what citation I should give the records I found. I know this is the Surrogate Court, 9th District, Orange County, NY. So what is official name of those gigantic indexes: "Surrogate Court Records, Index L-Z, 1787-1898"? And for the individual records, are they written as, say: "1881, Decree, Liber K, Page 491" or "Letters of Administration, Liber F, Page 84, 1827" for example? Thanks, Julia
