Welcome to the Will Transcriptions Online Guest Book.

Custom Search

Please spare a few moments to sign the guest book, I have made it possible for you to to be able to list family names that you are researching, as I do feel that listing the names that we are researching can help us to make contact with others who are researching the same names.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes - Peter

Probate Scams

Please be aware that there are currently several Probate scams in operation via the Internet . Many of these will inform the recipient that they are the beneficiary of a substantial legacy but will ask for fees and/or taxes in advance of sending more information or the release of funds.

These will always be fraudulent and on no account should you make any payment or transfer any funds.

You can obtain further information and advice concerning such scams on www.met.police.uk/fraudalert

Comments	I read several of the transcribed wills. Folk had a wonderful and different approach as to the use of words back then and I find we have regretfully forgotten the art. I have anyway. I particularly enjoyed reading the will of John Brown of Wareham. He left property from the Isle of Purbeck, the area of my genealogical Brown ancestors. Thank you very much for making this will available to us at the touch of a fingertip. Dan Hiscoe, Oct 2009.
