Michael, if you have details of these wills missing from the index would you please send them to Ian? (Email address on his website.)

A lot of index entries and transcribed wills have vanished from Brian Lawson's original indexes during their moves on the FHS website, but I think most of the early transcripts were Arch wills.

This is Brian's old index recorded before his death in 2008:
www3.telus.net/lawson/wills/

The LDS film numbers for Epis wills from 1600 to 1659 are 991433 to 991448. 1659-1660 is on film no.991530, and 1661 to 1697 are on films 991638 to 991647.

The last four films between 991644 (1679-1683) and 991647 (1693-1697) were not included in the filmed indexes, so Brian indexed them himself.

Joyce M Oates who has finished transcribing all the wills and other information on the pre-1700 Arch LDS films is about to start (or has now started) on the pre-1700 Epis films.
