Are you having trouble finding the Probates

#Post

I have noticed that Family Search have changed their website and only by chance I came across the part for NZ Probates......

I just selected my saved link and it came up the same as always.

;cc=1865481

But having said that and following your link I found that the Gisborne list had an extra two years of probates.

Once you've drilled down by country (by clicking on the map) they've added a check list at the side of the record collections so you can pick more than one to search at a time. Might be useful elsewhere, but not in NZ (which has 10 whole collections!) when you just want to look at one!
You can't click on it like before, but you can right click on it and open it in a new tab to search.

I am at a bit of a loss as to what the problem is. It all works for me as it always has. The only problem I have is on occasions loading of the link in post#2 I get a page with no courts showing but if reload it they all show up. Doing a refresh does not work so I just reload the link.

The images of those I'm researching are not available to view online, even though they have a camera icon. Their deaths occurred between 1900 and 1957. The system must be undergoing maintenance.

try without using your link to find someone and you get this which has little boxes to tick to narrows down the subject your looking for, it no longer gives you the option to Browse the images like you could before by just clicking on the subject Probates which is why I posted the link in post 1..... this is the image of those boxes you need to tick

That's when you need to Browse the images to double check

Not a maintenance issue at all, just the camera had no film in it if the icons are anything to go by...

I don't think they've finished indexing them yet (crab2?).

If you have the reference from Archway, you can try browsing the records to find them.

I don't think they will ever finish indexing them as more people die and more wills get probated and will be added to the archives
