“Using Probate Records in Genealogy Research” class – January 17, 7:00 p.m. at the Montgomery Museum (4 E. Main St.) in Christiansburg.

Probate records are a valuable genealogy resource. Not only do they include wills, but also numerous other records related to probate including inventories, estate sales, and more. Other types of miscellaneous records can also be found in probate books including bonds, receipts, registration of free negroes, and others. Learn how to find and how to make the most of probate records in this class.
