	Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows how you go about looking to see if an ancestor left a will?, I have tried looking on the national archives and have so far been unlucky. Is there anywhere else I can look? Thanks Tracie.

	You can google, some counties have some records on line. You can go to a main library and look through the probate lists or try findmypast - pay to view?

	National has Admos index of proved wills in England from 1858 to 1942,,,,most local Archives and Record Offices hold them,,,,,,,,anything later will have to be sought from the regional office,,,,,,,,,, Adoms dont give a full account of contents of a will,
