The collection includes wills, orphans' court records, estate files, and several other types of records. It is organized by county, and each county has a different types of records and dates of coverage. The collection is not searchable, so to access the records you have to browse through page by page. If you have a reference from an index the records are fairly easy to find, even though you have to browse. Over the last couple of days I have explored the orphans' court records and found invaluable information about several of my ancestors that is not available anywhere else - and I hope that all of you will have similar success! Here is a link to the collection: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://www.familysearch.org/searchapi/search/collection/1999196 Happy hunting! ~Michael Messinger~ Phil Knox <pknox@earthlink.net> My Web Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~pknox/ <<"Don't Tread on Me & God Bless the USA">
