All of these records can potentially contain tons of genealogical gems. Therefore, they are worth your time and effort to look for them and study them closely if you find them. You will be so glad you did. Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/a-closer-look-at-probate-records-1 #Genealogy #AncestralFindings #GenealogyClips
