*[http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/DevonWillsProject/ Devon Wills Project] -- provides an online consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations and inventories, covering (and distinguishing between) original documents, probate copies, transcripts and abstracts. The project involves systematically transcribing information obtained from various "sources", i.e. numerous private publications of abstracts or transcripts, and various indexes, calendars, catalogues, etc. The period covered is up to 1858, and wills, etc., are taken as related to Devon if the testator is identified to be or can be assumed as being of Devon, even if the will was proved elsewhere. The index covers only testators, not other named individuals, and efforts to create a consolidated index which covers all individual sources is not yet complete.) Individual sources are linked to from the Devon Wills Project page. | *[http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/DevonWillsProject/ Devon Wills Project] -- provides an online consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations and inventories, covering (and distinguishing between) original documents, probate copies, transcripts and abstracts.
