The dates are on the books that someone posted this morning. He/she gave the kind of records and the dates within.
They are as early as 1812 which is before AL became a state [1819].
These are priceless to anyone with very early AL ancestors. It would be like someone discovering that all of New Kent County records had not burned and someone was "returning" some of the court records to that country courthouse. That pretty much puts it into perspective!

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] New Book: Virginia's Lost Wills: An Index
The subject new book is now available and is a result of collecting for over
a decade of references to "lost" wills. For the study a lost record was
considered in two ways: first, as an item from a location where court
records have been destroyed, and second for records that are found in
unexpected places-oftentimes far from their point of origin. Also included
are references to abstracts or transcripts of wills found in periodicals.
Numerous sources were consulted as detailed on four pages of introductory
notes. Many will references are from chancery suits found in the Library of
Virginia's chancery records project and might be also found online at the
Library's website. 240 pp., paper, perfect-bound, alphabetical, $35.00
postpaid. Copies may be ordered from the compiler at the address below.
Libraries may invoice.
