Indexes - 1859 to 1966
The Indexes are organized by surname initial, then by the date that the deceased's
estate was dispersed. Most indexes will provide the number of
the deceased's estate file. However, some indexes
will only list the register and page number where the estate
file number is recorded (in these cases, you must next order the appropriate
register for the date when the deceased's estate was probated).
In the table below, determine the reel of microfilm that you need and note the Microfilm Reference code. Please note that many estates were not dispersed until the spouse had died. Once you have the microfilm, search for the name alphabetically, then record the estate file number.
- 1840-1859: These "A1" through "A410" files are arranged by year and indexed in Inventory 22, Appendix A25.
- 1859-1930: Use the File Number in the NCB (Non-Contentious Business) column. Ignore references to the book and page number.
Go to Estate Files to determine what microfilm to order to see the estate file.

Estate Files - 1840 to 1930
Estate files contain all the documents needed to grant Letters Probate or Letters of Administration, including the petition for probate or administration, the original signed Will, oaths of executors or administrators, tally of assets, and related evidence.
In the table below, identify the microfilm which covers the time period and estate file number relevant to your search. Use the indexes to determine the estate file number. Order the appropriate microfilm, citing the Microfilm Reference code. Once you have the microfilm, look for the estate file number, which usually appears at the beginning of each file on the docket wrapper, and may appear elsewhere throughout the file.
