The most extensive collection of surviving Prerogative Will abstracts was compiled by Sir William Betham. Amounting to over 37,000 abstracts, they contain brief genealogical details from which extensive pedigrees were later compiled. The time period covered by these abstracts is 1536-1809. However, many of the early volumes are missing and most do not go beyond 1799.

Amounting to over 37,000 abstracts, they contain brief genealogical details from which extensive pedigrees were later compiled. The time period covered by these abstracts is 1536-1809. However, many of the early volumes are missing and most do not go beyond 1799. The FamilySearch Library has microfilmed both the {{FSC|311755|item|disp=will abstracts and the pedigrees.}} These may be viewed in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, the cataloging of the collection in the FamilySearch Catalog makes the microfilm collection useless since there is no indication of what surname is on what reel of microfilm. <br>Pedigrees were compiled from the wills and are extremely valuable. Two sets of the pedigrees exist. One made by Sir William Betham in his own hand and another copy made for Sir Bernard Burke transcribed in a very fine hand. These are indexed by both the name of the deceased for whom the will was probated and the names of spouses (alliances) listed on the pedigrees. To view the film use {{FSC|492665|item|disp=Index to alliances.}} Sir William Betham also made the most complete abstracts of the Prerogative Administrations. These are deposited in the Genealogical Office (G.O. Mss. 257 260) with the heading "All the Administrations in the Prerogative Office in Dublin from the earliest time to the year 1802." They have been microfilmed by the FamilySearch Library and are available on [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results#count=20&placeId=76&query=%2Bplace%3AIreland%20%2Bfilm_number%3A100114&subjectsOpen=440262-50,345196-50 FS Library microfilm 100114.] They are alphabetically arranged and usually contain the name of the testator, residence, occupation, date of probate, and names of the administrators. Estimates have been made that there are approximately 5,000 abstracts in this collection.<br> | ||
