How to Search for Wills and Probate in England | Tracing Ancestors In The UK In my last couple of posts I’ve been looking at the importance of digging deeper into your ancestors’ lives so you know more about them than just their birth, marriage and death details. Today I thought I’d give you a short guide to searching for wills and probate in England, as this is one of the best ways of getting to know an ancestor better. An ancestor’s will can be very useful for discovering or confirming family relationships where they are missing in other records – but even when they don’t give this information, they are an essential resource if you want to know more about how your ancestor lived. While it is far more likely that you will find wills within wealthy families, they do crop up within the lower classes more often than you might imagine, so it always worth checking. First, you need to know whether the will you want is before 1858 or after, then take the following steps: Before 12th January 1858 You will need to search in several places, both online and in archives.
Accéder aux numérisations du Journal officiel de la République française, de 1871 à nos jours Le processus de numérisation complète du Journal officiel a été annoncé depuis longtemps déjà. Il est effectivement en cours et cette politique - mise en œuvre notamment dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre l'assemblée nationale et la BnF (voir ici) - commence à porter ses fruits. Croyez en quelqu'un qui a dû se débrouiller avec les microfilms ou les microfiches de la BnF pendant les premières années de sa thèse, c'est quelque chose qui va considérablement changer certaines pratiques de recherches (on retrouve ici les nouvelles pratiques documentaires que Franziska et moi identifions dans cet article - voir aussi en libre accès et en anglais) Il n'est toutefois pas toujours facile de se repérer dans les méandre du JO sur le web.

Le Musée du Désert - Histoire du Désert Dans l’Histoire du protestantisme français, l’expression Désert définit une période qui s’étend de la Révocation de l’Edit de Nantes (1685) à la Révolution Française (1789). Privés alors de liberté de culte, c’est loin des villes, cachés dans les endroits isolés, déserts (dans les forêts, les garrigues, les grottes ou les ravins…), que les protestants de France (en Cévennes, mais aussi en Haut-Languedoc, en Poitou, Dauphiné, Vivarais…) furent obligés de vivre clandestinement leur foi. Ce mot de Désert avait aussi pour eux un sens biblique, comme les 40 années pendant lesquelles les Hébreux de l’Exode avaient erré dans le désert, lieu de tribulations, de tentations et de désespoirs, mais aussi lieu où se faisait entendre la parole de l’Eternel. Cette page d’histoire concerne toute la France mais a marqué particulièrement le Languedoc et les Cévennes, où, dès le début du XVIème siècle, le protestantisme s’est largement implanté.
