The probate records listed here were abstracted from a book titled Probate Journal,
Valencia County, Libro A No. 2, 1882–1888, Testamenterias y Guardianas.
The full article was published over five consecutive issues of the Genealogist:
37:3 [Sep 1998], 37:4 [Dec 1998], 38:1 [Mar 1999], 38:2 [Jun 1999], and 38:3 [Sep
1999]. The probate journal is housed at the New Mexico State Records Center and
Archives, 1205 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, NM.
- Names are listed here as they appear in the original record. There were a few 1884
and 1885 records among the 1887 records, and have been abstracted in the same order.
- Spelling of names has been retained as found in the original file. If searching
for a name, you may have more success by trying alternate spellings.
- Legibility of any document is often questionable and open to interpretation. For
that reason, we encourage searchers to consult the source material themselves whenever
possible.
