Money
Money on your mind? You’re not the only one. When you’re looking for an old will or clues to a financially solvent family tree, be sure to check Ancestry.com. You’ll find a list of them at the Court, Land, Wills, and Financial Records tab. Or go to the Ancestry Database Card Catalog (to get there, select the Search tab from Ancestry.com and then select Card Catalog—it’s the top link on the right side of the screen) and jump directly into one of the following collections. You may just find the windfall you’re looking for.

This entry were blue. The Search tab has become the screen. I am trying to learn some of the dying art forms because we should try to keep the Ancestry Database Card Catalog alive.
