WILL INFORMATION
This page is new and in need of information to fill it. Do you have any wills or extracts that you are willing to share? Just send them to me at the above link and I will put them up for you. Maybe you will hear from that long lost relative!
The information in this section can be from Government, Civil, personal, or newspaper records for the City or County of Philadelphia. It can be a short extract or a complete will. Complete wills will be put on a separate page for each one.
NOTE: If there are two dates in the remarks, the first is the either the date the will was written or the date of death. Philadelphia is not consistant with that information. The second is the date the will was proven, but that is not always accurate either.
