😆 me too! I have a few folders of wills to sort, as Iron Mountain deleted a load and hadn’t downloaded when they ‘upgraded’ the system. Had to make a pest of myself, but they did email them all to me in the end! #GenHour

I got my family history program to create a list of everyone who died aged 18 & over after 1857. There were over 700! 😳 Needless to say, I haven’t ordered them all! I have ordered all the wills for my #OnePlaceStudy though #GenHour

😆 thank you! 🤞🏻 #GenHour

That’s good news! It’s easy to over-do it too soon! #GenHour

Thank you, that’s useful to know #GenHour

Yes, I’m sure they will. I’m going to prepare a list first so I can make the most of my time #GenHour

War memorials are a #OnePlaceStudy in themselves! My OPS is relatively new so I haven’t researched the war memorial yet. I’m transcribing the school log books at the moment but I want to have researched the 17 men on the war memorial by next Armistice Day #GenHour

I appreciated you posting the links to the wills that can be accessed via FamilySearch affiliate library. I’ve never used a FamilySearch affiliate library before, but there’s one near somewhere i visit regularly so I need to work out how to identify the records & how to use the library #GenHour

There are many interesting tales lurking in our family trees, thanks to distant cousins! Was this a historical event or more recent? #GenHour

The Mary Rose Museum is the best museum I’ve ever been to. There’s something there for everyone, no matter what your historical interests. I’m lucky to live nearby! #GenHour

Thanks! I searched the index on Ancestry but only found 1970s onwards probate records. I'd searched the probate index for burial entries. I found:
34 wills from the burials that weren’t in the FMP Probate Index & 17 wills on FMP that I didn’t get from the burials! Both needed!
