Kilchoman was under the probate jurisdiction of the Commissary Court of The Isles until 1823, and since then has been under the Sheriff's Court of Dunoon. Probate records for 1513- 1901 are indexed online at [http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk]. You must register on the website but use of the index to probate records, called 'Wills & Testaments,' is free. You may then purchase a copy of the document or, if the document is before 1823, it will be on microfilm at the Family History Library. To find the microfilm numbers, search in the library [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,0,0 catalog] for the 'Place' of Argyll and the subject of 'Probate records.' Then click on the link to the records of the Commissariat of The Isles<br>The library also has some post-1823 probate records for Argyll. Look in the library [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,0,0 catalog] for the 'Place' of Argyll and the subjects of 'Probate Records' and 'Probate Records - Indexes.' <br> | |||
