COMPLETED!! What does * mean in: Ireland, Indexes to Wills, 1384-1858
« on: Tuesday 16 July 24 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hi all. I can't find an answer with a quick internet search, but am wondering what an * next to an entry in Ireland, Indexes to Wills, 1384-1858 would indicate. It is for Cashel and Emly diocese.
Thanks, Katharine.

Difficult to say without seeing it- is it something you can post a link to?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Not to worry - I have just found the answer. I went back to the original and browsed from the beginning of the volume. At the bottom of page of first entries it states that the * indicates that no date of probate was given, so the date is that of the will.
And...that most of the wills are no longer extant - as we frustratingly know   :'(
