content: There are two volumes of registers of applications of former owners for restoration of their property. Volume 1, July 20 – 27, 1865, is arranged chronologically by date of the first application filed. Each entry includes the name of applicant, a description of the property, a list of the types of supporting documents (petitions, loyalty oaths, and amnesty papers) filed, and a notation of what action was taken by the Bureau. Volume 2, October 31, 1865–April 19, 1866, is arranged by assigned number. Each entry includes the name of applicant and remarks about the disposition of his application and the date and action taken by the Bureau. A name index, which is arranged alphabetically by initial letter of applicant's surname, is bound in the front of Volume 2. The number after each name in the index refers to the applicant's assigned number in the register.
