Note: The
Principal Registry wills are not organized like the district wills. They appear
to be solely by date, and the filming is unusual--it often cuts off in the
middle of a will, which is then continued on the next film (there is little we
can do about that; this note is just so that you will know).
Filming of district wills is
unusual. It not only cuts off between films without waiting to the end of a
month or district, it sometimes cuts off in the middle of an individual's will.
Remember, wills are arranged by first letter of the last name, then month, then
district, then day of the month.
It has been suggested that the
beginning phrase of the note should be changed to say "For an annual index
to these records, see:" and that REG should be added to the call number
description.
