Indexes - 1855 to 1967
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.
- 1842-1855: Files are arranged alphabetically.
See microfilm MS 921, reels 1 and 2.
- 1855-1886: In the indexes, use the
top number to the RIGHT of the name (e.g. "154/295",
the Estate File is #154). This is the Grant number.
- 1887-1930: In the indexes, use the
File Number immediately to the RIGHT of the name.
- NOTE: In January 1867, the Court stopped
at #443 (Old Series) and restarted at #1 (New Series)
again.
Go to Estate Files
to determine what microfilm to order to see the estate file.

Registers- 1855 to 1931
The registers, also known as Probate
and Administration books, contain the courthouse's
copy of the grants of Letters of Probate (for estates with
wills) and of Administration (for estates without wills).
Information about registers is normally only included in
this list if they serve as the only index to the estate
file or if they contain the only copy of the wills.
In the table below, identify the volume that covers the
time period relevant to your search and note the Microfilm
Reference code. Once you have received the microfilm,
look up the relevant entry using the volume and page number
found in the index.
