Probate
Records
All records which
relate to the disposition of an estate after its owner's
death are referred to as probate records. These are many
and varied in both content and value but, basically,
they fall into two main classes . . . If a person died
leaving a valid will we say he died testate, if not he
died intestate. In most localities in America these
records comprise, as a group, one of the most useful
genealogical resources available.

Notes:
1.
The New Orleans
Public Library online index (Louisiana.
Second District Court (Orleans Parish) General Index of All
Successions, 1846 – 1880) was used to discover the docket number, 37522, for
the succession of Anton Buhler. The FHL catalog was then searched and the
corresponding film number 581292 was ordered. This film ends with Docket No.
37511. The NOPL staff checked their copy of the microfilm and found that film
number 591292 ends with docket 37511 not 37571. The NOPL staff found Docket
number 37522 for Anton Buhler on the next film, number 581293 and were able to
provide copies.. There is an error
in the FHL catalog.
