Carver County, MN - Index
to Wills & Probates - Volume A
Note: These records are located at the
Minnesota
Historical Society.
This is a typed version of my handwritten notes
from the index to Will Book A of Carver County, Minnesota, USA. I
interpreted the various styles of handwriting as I went along and
this should not be considered a very careful study of the handwriting
or the spellings of the names. I am also fairly certain the the index
does not contain ALL of the records within the Will Book
A.
* The records themselves usually named the
township that the person resided in.
* The person's middle name was frequently given in
the records themselves, but not recorded in the index. (Definitely a
problem for the early Germans who usually went by their middle names
and not their first names.)
* Sometimes only initials were used in the index, but
the full name was in the record itself. In these cases I tried to go
back to the record page and find more of the full name.
* I frequently saw such alterations of names- such as
Johann and Johannes in the records, but John in the index.
* Occasionally a will or probate was recorded on
several pages (2 to 4 is common) with the remainder of the record
being recorded in EARLIER
pages.
* No doubt I probably made a few transcription, hand
writing and typing errors. I tried my best to get the information
recorded accurately in the few hours I had at the library.
