Alaska, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1883-1978
This collection includes images of probate records from the state of Alaska. Probate records are among the most valuable records available for American genealogy but can be challenging to access because originals are kept in courthouses across the country. The records in this collection come from microfilm that took years to compile. They have been brought together from multiple courthouses over time to give you a single source to search. Some localities and time periods may not be included because they were not available to be acquired as part of this collection, or the records may have been lost or destroyed before the effort to collect them all began. If you are looking for a probate record and believe it to be from a county or year range that is not included in this collection, you can try contacting the appropriate county courthouse to see if the records are available.
