-Before 1858, every town and parish in Yorkshire fell under the probate jurisdiction of a primary court and several secondary courts.&nbsp; For&nbsp;an authoritative treatise on&nbsp;each Yorkshire probate court and the parishes&nbsp;comprising them in pre-1858, see Anthony J. Camp's publication,&nbsp;''Wills and Their Whereabouts,'' also available at&nbsp;the Family History Library, FHL&nbsp;book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=413992&disp=Wills+and+their+whereabouts%20%20&columns=*,0,0 #942 S2wa].&nbsp;
-When looking for the will of an ancester, you should search the courts in the order given.&nbsp; Search indexes first.&nbsp; For indexes, click on the court name links [soon to be constructed].
