Wills in the Diocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe

From Phillimore and Thrift's Indexes to Irish Diocesan Wills

Phillimore and Thrift published five volumes of Irish Diocesan Will Indices, each covering several dioceses. Most of the original wills were destroyed in the Four Courts fire, but names found in these indices are likely to occur in other records, such as the Registry of Deeds. These indices will provide the name, place of residence, and year of probate -- since property usually changed hands about the same time, these clues make it easier to find further records. Remember that these books are all 80 or more years old -- we have made the best possible copies from the available volumes, but not every page is perfect.

This table of contents covers the diocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe which includes all of county Kerry and part of Cork. The first name on each page is listed here.
