Dear All,
I have two wills one of Phillip Oriel of 1678 and one Henry Oriel of 1713 both written in latin.

Can anyone advise where I might get them translated into english and any costs involved? Being concerned with welsh genealogy, where in the main P.R.'s only start mid 18th century they could prove usefull in confirming family relationships.

If you google
translating Latin to English

several sites pop up, including the freebies, though how good they are, I have no idea but maybe worth a go for some words.

There are also those that advertise professionally.

You could try a local college or University, might be a nice project for them.

There are usually a few advertising in the classified section of some family history magazines.
