Does anyone know a good website with an 'idiots guide' to researching wills?
I've never done much with them before (only looked at those for g-parents which were kept in the family). But now work has moved to central London |banghead| so popping in to the place in Holborn seems a more realistic option. Trouble is, I'm having trouble getting my head round things - pre-/post-1858, calenders, various courts, etc, etc.
Would quite like a straightforward (although I realise that might be expecting too much) "what to find and where", with an indication of who might be a "good ancestor" to try to track down/ones not to bother with, just to get me started.
