Deed and mortgage indexes, 1823-1917 [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80475124

These indexes list the grantee and grantor for each deed and mortgage recorded in the office of the clerk of superior court. Other information recorded includes the date of the instrument, the books where recorded, and the dates of the recording. These indexes are usually structured as either cumulative or running indexes. Cumulative deed indexes are usually in alphabetical order and running indexes are not, since names are continually being added. Running indexes generally group surnames under their first letter, so that all "A" surnames are together in the order of recording. Seller indexes are also called direct and grantor indexes. Buyer indexes are called indirect and grantee indexes. With deed and mortgage books containing different sorts of records, these other records may or may not be indexed along with the deeds and mortgages.
