Wales Estate Records

Estate records are a particularly valuable genealogical resource. These records may reveal where and when your ancestor lived and where they previously lived. Often, family relationships and information may be stated or inferred such as the names of spouses, children, heirs, other relatives, and neighbors. Additionally, the occupation and social status of your ancestor may be gleaned from these records.

Estate records include:


 * Rentals or rent rolls
 * Leases
 * Lease books
 * Estate maps
 * Correspondence
