Program Synopsis: Probate records are important to genealogists because they provide evidence about family relationships. The term “probate packet” refers to the court file where all paperwork, documents, and other legal papers pertaining to the settlement of an estate are kept. Wills and probate packets are among the most interesting and revealing sets of records you can find for an individual. You will find them among the records of the county probate court, usually in the state and county in which the person resided at the time of his or her death. As part of the presentation, I will include a number of downloadable study guides to supplement the discussion.
