I am trying to find probate, estate distribution, orphan and guardian
records in Bedford Co. I've found this page....
http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/local/results_all.asp?CountyID=VA023#WIL
I'm simply confused. I would have thought probate would have it's own
section as does wills or deeds. But apparently not.
Is there anyone with LVA experience who can tell me which "section[s]" I
would find my desired records? I'm wondering if probate recs are found
in the Order books??
I would also appreciate knowing what kind of records are contained in
the following. Does the General Index point you to other reels? And does
Vol A contain records for surnames beginning with A or what???.
General Index to Will Books - Heirs, Devisees, or Fiduciaries, Vol. A,
1754-1976, 66 p.
General Index to Will Books - Decedents, Trusts, or Wards, Vol. X-Y-Z,
1754-1976
I admit my gross ignorance in trying to understand these various indices
since I've never in my life done non-cyber research :-(
Thanks for any and all input!
