This database includes about 35,700 events from the area. Although the database simply lists each person, the type of probate record, and the date, it is invaluable because the place of residence at the date of the probate is recorded. Furthermore, the state of residence at the time of the probate is also listed in numerous instances for the deceased and his or her family members. This could help you locate relatives you thought were in Massachusetts, but who were actually living in another state or country; it also helps establish migration patterns. There are three entries dated 1885, one entry dated 1888, one entry dated 1891, and one entry dated 1894; all other records are from July 1731 to July 1881. The database lists such probate records aswills, administration of wills, guardianships, adoptions, etc. Source Information: Flint, James, comp.
