These are the complete estate files - very nice! Start with the index to see if the file exists, then browse that year to find it (which takes a lot of time and they are not exactly ordered correctly within a year). This is the most complete information, but also check the Orphan's Court (even when there were no orphan's!) and Wills sections below.
