Documents Recorded after January 1, 1948<\/strong><\/p>\n

All documents recorded after January 1, 1948 are fully indexed and searchable. These records can be searched by Name, Address, Book & Page, Year & Instrument # and\/or Entry Date.<\/p>\n

Documents Recorded before <\/span>January 1, 1948<\/strong><\/p>\n

Documents recorded before January 1, 1948 also may be searched and accessed online. These documents are indexed and searchable only by Grantor and Grantee name. The Registry of Deeds has scanned all the original index books from that period, allowing for an electronic search to find the Book & Page # of the desired document. Once you have found the applicable Book & Page # using the “Scanned Index”, the document image can be accessed via a Book & Page search.<\/p>\n

Scanned Index- Pre-1948 Grantor Index<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Search homepage you will begin by selecting “Search Registry Records”.\u00a0 The second row of search criteria that begins with a green highlighted selection is where you will find the “Scanned Index”. Click on Scanned Index and fill in the selection for “Grantor” under the “Parties” section. This will yield a name search for Grantors. You will type the last name of the party you wish to find in the \u201cLast Name\u201d field and enter a start-end year, if desired, then hit search. The search results will list pages of the index that may contain the name you entered. Select the book icon under “View Doc” on the right side of screen to begin looking at the actual index page. If you do not find your name on that page continue to the subsequent pages until find the desired entry. Once you find your entry, simply write down the book and page of the document and use the Book & Page search.<\/p>\n

Scanned Index- Pre-1948 Grantee Index<\/strong><\/p>\n

Select this option under the “Parties” selection and follow the same instructions above.<\/p>\n
