County Wills Collection
The County Wills Collection consists of approximately 10,000 wills filed with the County Clerk. The wills date from the early twentieth century into the 1970s, with the bulk of the wills from the years after 1940.
You may search the wills collection using the index below. Each entry includes the name of the individual writing the will, his or her city of residence, the date of the will, and, occasionally, additional remarks. The wills are available at the County Archives.
