The first step is to find the complete collection of Cornish will images on the FamilySearch web site. Go to the FamilySearch website familysearch.org and click "Search" at the top left. In the "Search" pulldown menu, click on "Catalog".

You want to search the catalog by "Place". And in the "Place" text pane, you can enter "Cornwall". This brings up match options, and you want to choose the first one "England, Cornwall". (Much as this irritates those who see the legal case that Cornwall is not England, that is the way that FamilySearch has it.) Select "Availability" as "Online", and click the "Search" button.

In the resulting list of record collections, click on "England, Cornwall - Probate records (12)". This will expand that reference to show all 12 entries. Click on the one for "Original wills, administrations and inventories for the Consistorial Court of the Archdeaconry of Cornwall, 1579-1859".

You should bookmark or set up a shortcut for this page of wills ( https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/329778?availability=Family%20History%20Library ) because you will be using this as the base for your search for quite a while.

The first four films (90140-90143) are enticing but cannot only be searched at a Family History Center or affiliate.

The fifth film (2220755 Item 6) is one of a total of 11 items, all of which are Corwnall Wills. I have not searched this collection. It has no index information included on the film. There is potential for more information on this film. Or it may be a duplication of records found on the films with exhaustive coverage. I do not know whether these 1,651 images provide further wills or not, but they do cover the same period as the exhaustive coverage films.

And that brings us to the bulk of the collection. It is divided into these groups. (These spread across three pages so that you have to step through the pages to see them all.

1. Will - A-Y (1600-1714) - 42 films
2. Wills proved & registered - volumes 1-17 (1690-1746) and 1-62 (1746-1859) - 42 films
3. Administrations - volumes A-W (1715-1799) and 1800-1829 - 50 films
4. Wills & "Wills, surnames beginning with" - A-Y (1601-1857) - 134 films

The last of these are preceded with this note: "Another filming (includes inventories at the beginning of most items)". All three of the first collections total 134 films, the same number as in the last collection. So, I believe that the last collection is a refilming of the first three. AND the last collection contains the crucially important (to making the search managable) inventories at the beginning of most items.

So, it is the 134 films of the last collection that we will use for our search. They begin on page 2 and continue to page 3.
