This contains virtually everything pertaining to estate records ever published in the leading Virginia periodicals. Also incorporated in the collection are a number of articles containing abstracts of various companion records--court minutes and deeds, for example--as well as a smaller group of articles dealing with the probate of certain wills in England. Their appearance here--along with an index of 27,000 entries--will spare the genealogist the trouble of searching through hundreds of out-of-the-way volumes and save an untold amount of time in research.
