The authors begin by summarizing the intricacies of estate law as it developed in Virginia during the colonial period, and they illustrate the types of valuable family data which may be derived from such records. The volume includes a listing of 2,136 microfilmed will, estate, and related records. In addition, several hundred published works which contain source materials are included. [Note: West Virginia materials are not included in this volume].
