are wills (Natal 1933 to 1950) or index online?
« on: Monday 11 November 19 13:00 GMT (UK) »
Is it possible, is there an online index (like the uk version)?

I know when the relevant people died, I 'think' they left wills and I have ref numbers from NAAIRS but I can't work out if it's (or if it even is) possible to get any further.

can anyone out there enlighten me?

??? Do you get an error message as there should be 5 links to choose from. Once you go to a next page you'll need a (free) FS subscription to view the films...

Yep that should explain it .. Other people have had these issues with (the now superceded) Internet Explorer, but also with old versions of some other browsers

You can try this link as well

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2573604

these have been indexed into a searchable data base.  Of if you have the NAAIRS  estate number you can try this one

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/229462?availability=Family%20History%20Library

It'll be a hit and miss until you find the right estate for the year.  I would try the indexed search first, you may get lucky.

I would still try the search page first that is offered. It can get a bit frustrating trying to find the right one even though they are in numerical order, there are often a lot of images for a particular year. ;D
