Mississippi Probate Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Question 1
Question 1: The lists of probate records for many counties appear to be incomplete. Are these records available? How can we view them? Answer 1: Below is a list of counties which contain missing online images, but which we have available on microfilm. You can order the microfilm and view it at your local FamilySearch (formerly called Family History) Center.

Question 2
Question 2: I am looking for Estates (series 1) 1853-1854 no 1251-1299 in Hinds County. Can you help me find them? Answer 2: The records found at waypoint Hinds &gt; Estates (series 1) 1853-1854 no 1251-1299 are the same records as found at Hinds &gt; Estates (series 1) 1853-1854 no 1299-1336.

Question 3: Some of the records I find appear to have records different from the waypoint description. Is there a list of the correct waypoint descriptions? Answer 3: Following is a list of the known discrepancies in the waypoint names:


 * Lowndes &gt; Will index no date should read Rankin County Will index Vol 1, 1855.
