Genealogy and Probate Records

Mary Penner of The Albuquerque Tribune has an informative series on using probate records in genealogy:

Part 1

Part 2

I'm embarrassed to admit that, while I'm both a probate attorney and an amateur genealogist, I've never taken the time to explore my ancestors' probate records.  This series may well provide the inspiration I need to get started.

I had a great laugh at this posting, thanks so much for your honesty. I was doing a search about Probate research and came across this blog with hopes of learning more myself. I laughed WITH you, not at you. I have several genealogy web sites dedicated to using census records, but have not yet been able to find all my grandparents in all the U.S. Census records for the years when they were living. So, we're in good company. Can't wait to continue exploring the other links on this site.
