DeKalb History Center
Will Records Database

This database contains information from wills recorded in DeKalb County from August 1839 through October 1917.  The information was taken from the following county record books, the originals of which can be found in the DeKalb County Probate Court:

 Will Record DeKalb County A, August 1839-November 1869

Will Record DeKalb County B, September 1869-May 1889

Will Record DeKalb County C, April 1879-October 1917

 The database may be searched in two ways, by the name of the person who filed the will (deceased) and the people listed as beneficiaries (heirs).  Where possible, the relationship of the beneficiary to the deceased is given.
