Thank you
Yes it is confusing.

Hi both

We use a slightly different system for wills to some of the other records. I think the confusion arises because the first page you see is simply a static image of the search page as a guide. It is then not so obvious which are live links. I will look at amending the page to make it more obvious where to search.

Regards

Paul

I found it difficult too and the examples made it confusing.

However,

Will Index

Search the Will Indexes (click on this)

Up comes: Home.Guidelines (top left corner)

Up comes the Options

Home/Guidelines (with a tick next to it)

Testator
Beneficiaries and others

Hit: Testator (or Beneficaries depending on your research)

and then you have the search page

----

This is how I went through the records - Admin may give more advice

Could someone please tell me how to use the Wills Index now. What happened to it, it was so easy before.

I cannot find where to insert the name etc.

Thank you
