Deeds

This section contains land deeds, land patents, homesteads, Indentures, mortgages and probate records. The deeds index references Townships, Sections (640 acres) and 1/4 sections.

The archives are updated several times a year as well as the Index. Check the date “updated” on the Index for the last date this archive was updated.

Helpful Hint: The PDF Index below can be viewed in your browser and searched by keyword without downloading the file by using Control F on your keyboard when the file is open. This function is very helpful with these large files in finding a specific person, subject, place, etc. The Control F Function does not work on photographs or the text embedded in the photo.

Helpful Hint: Check the index for an overview of Deeds and Mortgages and then look up the document you are interested in by year and scroll through the dates!
