Probate records include '''wills, petitions, letters of administration and testamentary, and inventories.''' Most wills were created by individuals with substantial property. Most '''poor people''', such as farmers and workers, arranged their affairs '''without legal action'''. Wills can give relationships, names, and dates. Wills are nice to find, sometimes they mention every member of a family, but if the older children have already been given land or funding for some enterprise, they may not be included, or will be left some nominal sum or token. '''Administration papers''' can be far more informative. Even an estate of a few hundred dollars must be divided among all the legal heirs. Probate is a '''county matter''', and at one time probate records were held in each of the fifteen counties. Most surviving early records have been '''transferred to the provincial archives and microfilmed copies returned to the county'''. <ref>Douglas, Althea.
