A bit of confusion, hopefully someone can help. I see the LDS has Orphans' Court index, Orphans' Court dockets and Orphans' Court estate papers. The dockets and estate papers seem to have coordinating volume number and dates, BUT is the index for the dockets or the estate papers? I am assuming I will gain more info from the estate papers than from the dockets, please correct me if I'm wrong. Trying to figure which films to order. Thanks, Brenda
It has been some time since I used the index but I did get the information regarding the estate files from it. I think it also gave me information regarding the docket. One piece of advice there may be more than one file and it could extend over a number of years so don't stop looking after finding the first file.
