(Complete
Record Book Indices)
Photographs and Index prepared by
One of the
most useful sources of information for historical and genealogical research is
the collection of legal records maintained in the office of the Clerk of
Courts. Many citizens required the
services of the court system sometime in their lifetime. Each interaction was duly recorded by the
system and provides insight into some aspect of the life of that person. The challenge for the researcher is to find
the needed material within the volumes in the archives.
There are
over 80 Complete Record Books that provide complete details of each case. These Complete Record Books are found in the
record room of the Monroe County, Ohio Clerk of Courts. Many of the Complete Record Books have been
photographed and put on CDs. Copies of
each of the Complete Record Books that are on CDs can be purchased from the
Beginning
in the late 1860s each Complete Record Book has its own index in the front of
each book. But prior to 1866 only two of
the books included an index. There are,
however, two separate books of indices for these Complete Record Books. The first is the Direct Index which is
organized by the surname of the plaintiff, the person(s) or organization(s)
initiating the suit. The second index is
the Reverse Index to Judgments Court of Common Pleas. The Reverse Index to
Judgments is an index of legal cases in
To access
the Reverse Index to Judgments on this website, click here
or go to https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ohmchs/IndexA.htm. To purchase a CD of the Reverse Index to
Judgments, go to http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~harringtonfamilies/CD-Status.htm
and print out the order form listed at the end of the page and follow the
instructions on the order form.
The Direct
Index of cases found in the Complete Record Books is in the process of being
prepared and will appear on this website soon.
Below is a
list of the available indices found in the first 37 volumes of the Complete
Record Books.
By clicking on the title of Complete Record Books that are hyperlinked
(these appear as blue or maroon hyperlinks) you are taken to the index of that
book.
Happy
hunting!
