Sylvia, I have a possible Lord that I can't locate from Ipswich. Elizabeth
Lord (or Ford, depending on how you read the handwritten VR), of Ipswich,
married Thomas Durkee in Ipswich on 5 Mar 1700/1. Elizabeth is my 7ggm. Since
there were Lords and no Fords in Ipswich, it's more likely she was Elizabeth
Lord.

Hello all...

I need some help sorting out a gaggle of people from the Ipswich Vital
Records prior to 1850. I have Lords, Hollands & Kimballs that were plentiful
in Ipswich in the 1700/1800's and don't know which are mine. I believe I can
sort some of them out if I can see some wills, that would at least prove
who's children are who's. Are will indexes available for Essex County in
either printed or microfilm form? Where could I access them? Are the acutal
wills available?

Thanks for your help!
