Subject: [GEN-NYS] Years corresponding to will books at Orange County NY Surrogate Court



Recently I was asked to get copies of 3 wills at
Orange County Surrogate Court in Goshen NY.

The requestor included name, liber and page for each
will. She had gotten them from the Sampubco
list of available wills.

Fortunately, she included the years of death for each,
because when I went to surrogate court, the names for
those libers and pages were correct...but the years of
death were way off. If I had copied the ones cited
all 3 would have been for the wrong people.

So I spent 2 hours at surrogate court, creating an
index (see below) showing which years are included
for each liber from 1787 to 1900, by checking date
of probate for the first and last entries for each liber.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone who might get
some help from it.

From liber 68 to 218 there are approximately
two years per three books.

I will not attempt to index
any will libers after 1900.
