Re: Full Episcopal Will Index
In Response To: Full Episcopal Will Index ()

When Brian Lawson compiled his index to Epis (and Arch) wills from the LDS films of the mainly handwritten indexes he saw that several years had been omitted from these. Episcopal will index 1659-1949 LDS film no.106366 is missing indexes from 1679 to 1697. The wills themselves are on LDS film numbers 991644 to 991647.
Brian eventually indexed these four films himself and added them to his index, so those years are probably complete. However he had access only to the LDS films so he could only add "unknown" wills to his list when people transcribed and sent them to him, and more recently to Ian Radcliffe where a lot of transcripts have been noted as not being in the index. lawsonsiom.freevar.com/
