Devon Wills Project
The vast majority of original Devon wills were destroyed when the Exeter Probate Registry was bombed during the Blitz of 1942. A joint project between Devon FHS, Devon RO, Plymouth and West Devon RO and Genuki/Devon is announced – follow this link for more details http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/DevonWillsProject
Eventually a complete list of all Devon testamentary matter, surviving or lost, will be published. Initially the project will concentrate on wills and administrations, the originals of which have been lost, but of which copies, transcripts or abstracts have survived.
Volunteers are sought for numerous tasks.
Contact Richard Grylls ( ) if you would like to volunteer for this project.
