  • index to pre-1858 wills (which are to be found in various collections in PRONI) and a selection of diocesan will and administration bond indexes

The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is committed to making its archives more widely available.  While PRONI's eCatalogue has made access to PRONI’s archives easier and speedier, in most instances it does not provide information on the actual content of the archives.  PRONI has therefore embarked on a project to improve access to content by producing or reproducing indexes to some of the most popular records.  This project is PRONI’s Public Service Agreement commitment in the Programme for Government for the next 3 years from 2008 to 2011.
