Family History

New depths of geekiness

Over my long weekend I managed to visit the Probate Registry and search for Wills. This was my first visit and it was the most unfriendly place I’ve ever been to. I was totally unprepared for how easy it was to search (take a look at their website and you’ll see why) and so only looked up a few relatives. The room was dark and empty, apart from rows and rows of bound volumes. However I found a few relevant entries and even ordered a copy for £5. I wish I hadn’t bothered as I didn’t find out anything new!
