Mississippi Probate Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
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: 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. It appears that the Estates (series 1) 1853-1854 no 1251-1299 records were missed when the county records were filmed. They are not available at this time.

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.
 * Yalobusha &gt; Inventories 1860-1867 vol M should read Yalobusha &gt; Inventories 1869-1895 vol N waypoint.
 * Yalobusha &gt; Inventories 1869-1895 vol N should read Yalobusha &gt; Inventories 1860-1867 vol M.
