Hi List, gthis from another list I belong to, Enjoy, Edith Talking about original sources made me think that the list may be interested to know about www.nationalarchivist.co.uk <http://www.nationalarchivist.co.uk/>  apparently the documents coming online are digitised images of the originals held at the Public Record Office in London. The death duty indexes are of particular interest because searching them is an extremely good way to find a Will, the difficulty being that prior to 1858 Wills and Administrations could be proven in any of the many different probate courts in the UK and therefore finding it can be very difficult as there is no national index but in fact the Death Duty index does take the form of a national index, although as far as I am aware you could only look at the complete index on film at the PRO in London. Therefore this new site could be quite helpful.
