This page gives all the local links

I was delighted in August 2016 to receive a message from Courtney Phillips, a mentor and tutor for a group of children in the USA.

They had enjoyed my links page and suggested another link that I didn't have listed - so thanks everyone for your High 5 and here is the special link you told me about.

The Devon Wills Project aims to provide a consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations, and inventories. Its goal is to compensate, as far as possible, for the disastrous loss of Devon wills in World War II. The index will include original documents, probate copies, transcripts, and abstracts. Nearly 25,000 of these are already indexed at the project's website, which is well worth a search if your one-name study has a presence in Devon.
