satisfactory 
evidence, who were the heirs at law and next of kin of the said testator, and 
their respective 
residences, and said Surrogate did thereupon issue a Citation, in due form of 
law, directed t
o the heirs at law and next of kin by their respective names, stating their

was produced and presented to said Surrogate of the due service of said Citation 
in the mode 
prescribed by law, and on that day, no one appearing to oppose the Probate of
