Behind every will lies a lost life story and a family waiting to be rediscovered. Names, places, dates, lives revealed. Index to Wills Proved and Administrations Granted in the Court of the Archdeacon of Berks 1508 to 1652 gathers, in one authoritative berkshire wills index, the essential signposts to more than a century of Tudor and Stuart estates. Created by leading genealogist W. P. W. Phillimore, it serves as a dependable genealogy reference book for anyone engaged in family history wills research or berkshire ancestry research, guiding readers straight to the surviving entries in the archdeaconry court records. Covering berkshire 1508 1652 wills during a formative period of English religious, social, and economic change, this index opens a rare window onto early modern Berkshire records: local gentry and yeoman farmers, tradespeople, widows, and craftsmen whose estates anchor lines of descent and patterns of inheritance. Part of the acclaimed Phillimore wills indexes, and companion in spirit to classic English parish register transcripts, it rewards both professional genealogists and historians and those tracing a single elusive surname across the English probate records collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Presented in a careful modern edition, this enduring reference offers casual local-history enthusiasts and serious record-hunters alike a practical working tool and an evocative link to Berkshire communities of four centuries ago.
