Luzerne County WILLS: Late 1700s through 1940 ONLY The Register of Wills Office houses WILLS from the late 1700s through 1940. Post 1940 are housed in a warehouse and will have to be ordered, which means two trips to the annex. One trip to order it brought up from the warehouse, and the other trip to copy it the next day. For wills after 1940, please be aware that the cost is $10.00 each because there are two parking fees involved as well. Will Book Number 1, from 1790 through 1919, one is on-line at: http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Epaluzern/ Please check there first to see if the will you want is listed. If it isn't listed, chances are there will not be one in the courthouse. Make sure to check the update. Please make sure to put "WILLS" in the subject line so our researchers know it is not SPAM.
