Greetings and a warm welcome to the latest edition of the Ancestral Findings newsletter. I trust your week has been going splendidly thus far.

Look below for the genealogy lookups currently available for free this week.

Probate records are a valuable source of genealogical information. When an ancestor passes away, they often leave behind their estate documentation. This includes wills, estate inventories, and court records of potential heirs. In some cases, newspaper records of individuals seeking to become the executor or heir of an estate without a will may also exist. Such records can contain valuable genealogical information, making it worthwhile to invest time and effort into studying them closely. You'll be thrilled with the gems you uncover. Let's learn about the different types of probate records you may discover and what you may find in them.

I am happy to inform everyone that the three winners of this week's free postcards have been chosen. Don't forget to check the list of winners to see if your name is there.
