Link: Welsh Wills now online at the Nat Library

[Raybistre]

Can anybody do an idiot's guide to the wills on the National Library site?
I remember accessing the wills many years ago but all seems to have changed now.
I can log on with my reader's ticket and password.
I can find the reference to the will I want to view.
What do I do next to see the actual will?

Thank you osprey. The problem is the wills I were trying to view don't seem to be online. They are in the peculiar of Hawarden, Flintshire. Previously, some years ago, I had been looking at the St Asaph wills.

They are not online on National Library but oddly are on Ancestry.

The parish of Hawarden was traditionally a "peculiar" i.e. the rector was exempt from the jurisdiction of any bishop - he held his own ecclesiastical courts, proved wills, and granted marriage licences. Confirmations were performed by invited bishops. Peculiars were abolished in 1849, and on the 30th of July 1849 the peculiar of Hawarden was attached to the diocese of St. Asaph. However, the Rector of Hawarden continued to prove wills until 1858, and he is still permitted to grant marriage licences to this day
