I quote from "Irish Records sources for Family & Local History" by James Ryan Only a few wills survived the PRO fire, but further wills and copies have since been obtained and form the current NAI collection. Further information from the same book: County Wexford is mainly in the diocese of Ferns, with two parishes in Dublin and one in Leighlin. Abstracts Abstracts of Ferns Wills from Philips Manuscripts (surnames A-S for period 16661-1826) NAI; SLC film 101027 Indexes Ferns (1601-1858, badly mutilated) up to 1800 published by Philimore. The NAI has a copy (1603-1838) for F-V, with unproved wills 1616-1842 for W only. NAI 1A 4 (16). A reconstructed copy of the index for 1800-57 (complied by Ian Cantwell) is complete for F-T and fifty percent complete for the rest. This is also available in the NAI. Co. Wexford Wills.
