It's a good place to start if you want to cut your teeth on estate research. They have records from all of the judicial districts in Manitoba, dating from the 1880s to 1930. They aren't in a searchable index yet, but the manual indexes are easy to use once you know which district you need.Erinhttp://beehivegenealogy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-31191581505530932622012-04-09T22:58:28.714-05:002012-04-09T22:58:28.714-05:00Thanks for the tips!

Thus far in my genealogical journey I've managed to get quite far with only vital records and censuses (and the odd immigration record), so unfortunately I haven't done a lot of learning how to use other types of records. I'll be sure to look into these ones!<br /><br />And thanks very much for that link! I'm always excited to find a new database I can search. :)Liannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426150893408223206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200261713904947000.post-55298212349499716122012-04-09T21:57:34.944-05:002012-04-09T21:57:34.944-05:00You can probably find Louis' estate papers at ...You can probably find Louis' estate papers at the Manitoba Archives - they're available up to 1984. That would give you his death date, his address at the time of death, surviving immediate relatives, and all sorts of property information. I'm not sure about requesting more recent probate papers in Manitoba, but according to http://www.jus.gov.mb.ca/ , Marguerite's estate was probated in 2000. As an immediate relative, your Dad may be able to get them if you can't.Erinhttp://beehivegenealogy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
