Wills

1744-1946

Frederick County, Maryland



The FamilySearch site has scanned the Will books from 1744-1918; however, they skipped two and a half of the volumes. (Current efforts are being made to provide abstracts of the skipped books.) Their 'title' names don't match the volume numbers of the courthouse which hinders researching as well as the page numbers being out of sync. There are also some mixups where a volume is split into two files or a second volume is started in the same volume as the one before it. So, I created this page to make navigating easier. Discrepancies are noted below.
