Decades ago, the Family History Library published 'probate keys' for each English county. They included a colored-coded map&nbsp;showing the courts&nbsp;and a corresponding table legend. We need to decide what content is still valuable and&nbsp;should be&nbsp;moved to the Research Wiki, and what content needs to be updated. &nbsp;Then we need to move and update as appropriate.&nbsp; These tasks will best be accomplished by those who have access to the old probate keys, either as a paper copy or at the Family History Library.
