Under "Record Synopsis," changed "Various type of records are created throughout the probate process." to correctly read "Various records may be found in probate files." Wills are found in probate files but they are not created during the probate process.

(St. Paul, Minnesota: West Publishing Co., 1979), 1081, "probate."</ref> Various types of records may be found in probate files. These may include wills, bonds, petitions, accounts, inventories, administrations, orders, decrees, and distributions. These documents are extremely valuable to genealogists and should not be neglected. In many instances, they are the only known source of relevant information such as the decedent’s date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, associates, relatives, and their places of residence. They may also include information about adoption or guardianship of minor children and dependents.
