You may find the names of married daughters or other relatives and their residences; or information about the adoption or guardianship of minor children and dependents. Probate records do not always give an exact date of death, but the death usually occurred within four months of probate. These documents are important to family history researchers because they usually exist for time periods before civil birth and death records were kept. fckLRfckLRThe Warren County Court has responsibility for the probate records. fckLRfckLRThe following Warren County probate records have been abstracted and/or indexed: fckLRfckLR*[1827-1861] Sistler, Byron and Barbara Sistler.
