The register of actions acts as an index to minute books and records books, thus providing easy access to begin a search in judicial records. Evidently estate numbers began to be assigned in approximately 1914. A block of case numbers was reserved for these cases. As batches were discovered and incorporated into the system, case numbers 1226-1287 were assigned and case information entered on blank pages. When entries for a single case filled a full page, entries were continued on the next available blank page.
Numerical order resumes with the filing of the next estate.
Case numbers 1290-1473 were never assigned. Two separate volumes both were designated volume 1. The second has cases 412-807. Volume 1A has cases 810-1225. A research guide on court records is available for patron use.
