I have found probate records at the DE. State Archives. One is 16 pgs and the date of the record is 1881-1889. The other is 20 pages and dates 1826-1869. Neither probate record contains a will. The Delaware Archives wants to charge me for all 36 pages. I don't understand how there can be so many pages in a probate record covering so many years...especilally since the deceased were poor renting farmers.
Can anyone explain what might be in a probate record that is 16 or 20 pages long and dates 1826-1869. Thank you, JOY
