New York State Probate Records: A Genealogist’s Guide to Testate and Intestate

Author: Gordon L. Remington, FASG

Published: 2002

The term “probate” used to refer to persons leaving wills (testate) and not to those who died without one (intestate). Probate is now defined as the general class of records associated with an estate. Gordon L. Remington’s New York State Probate Records also gives practical information on how to access those records through the Family History Library in Salt Lake City in addition to each of New York’s sixty-two County Surrogate Courts (the courts in charge of probating estates in New York today), other repositories, and references to published abstracts in both books and periodicals. “This reference simply provides the best information on New York probate court records that has ever been available for the genealogist. I can’t imagine any New York researcher who would want to be without it.” – Marsha Hoffman Rising, CG, FASG

About the Author: Gordon L. Remington is a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists and a native of Rochester, New York.
