The things one finds on http://www.archive.org/ are absolutely amazing. I’m reading parts of the 1892 edition of A Practical Treatise Upon the Jurisdiction of, and Practice in, the County and Probate Courts of Illinois, Embracing A Collation of Statutes and Authorities Upon the Settlement of Estates of Deceased Persons; Correlative Relations of Guardian and Ward; ….” by William Jones and Joseph Cunningham, Chicago, T. H. Flood, 1892.
Reading state statutes is advised as well, but there are times when reading the “guides” can give additional insight.
Lots to learn in there for the genealogist and lots that makes sense once one reads it.
