Virginia Probate Records: Difference between revisions

The original probate records are at the county courthouses or at the Library of Virginia. The [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHL/frameset_library.asp Family History Library] and the [http://www.lva.virginia.gov/ Library of Virginia] have microfilm copies of many probate records for most of the counties in Virginia. These include wills up to the 1860s and 1870s and indexes up to the 1940s and 1950s. For example, from Fairfax County the library has administration bonds (1752-82), will books (1742-1866), and a will index (1742-1951).
