Calendars are a kind of index (of the first letter of each surname) to the probate records and admons (administrations).  


In addition to the calendars, a majority of the original (unregistered) wills and the registered wills are alphabetically arranged for the ________________________court; most are only arranged chronologically, making will searches without indexes, fairly complex and challenging at best and are likewise organized on the microfilmed probates for these courts at the Family History Library.
