About the National Wills Index
Origins.net has a growing and unique set of indexes to wills and other probate documents. Following exclusive agreements with the British Record Society - which has the largest set of indexes to English wills - and other organisations with major collections of source material, our database of probate records is about to grow very rapidly.
With the partication of these bodies, we have launched the National Wills Index, which will become the primary online resource for pre-1858 English probate material.
A hard copy service is offered initially for all the original documents, but work has started to make these available in digital image form.
