IRISH WILLS
Index of Irish wills, 1484-1858. This CD-Rom covers all 32 counties for this poorly documented period. It has over 70,000 individual records. If anyone would like for me to look up information for them; I would be more than happy to. I would need name, county or town if possible. I was able to go in and type in the last name for a friend only and found several hits for him. The information included the family name; forename; year; executor/administrator, (their name and address); NA reference Number: Document number; cost and how to send for a copy of the will.
