Philimorre & Thrift, Indexes to Irish Wills, 1536 - 1858
32,483 records
This collection contains indexes of Irish wills between 1909 and 1920. These were compiled from the finding aids then in use at the Public Record Office in Dublin (PROI). The volumes record surviving wills, then in existence at the PROI, which had been proved at local diocesan courts. Information listed in these records may include: name, date of probate and an image of the page.<br><br>The series does not cover every diocese because the project was cut short by the destruction of the PROI in 1922. Following that disaster, this index represents often the only evidence that a will was left at all, and as a consequence is vital for researchers.
