Each book contains an everyname index of at least 1600 persons per book. Court minutes are certainly some of the most under appreciated yet revealing public records a researcher can use. No other record gives us a slice of life across all levels of society like the minutes of the county courts. It's all here -- from boundary disputes to family disputes, from trials for murder to trails for bad debts -- and co-mingled with all the other records that give a glimpse of life in the old days. Yet reading these court minutes is a teadious task, for they are almost never indexed and do not always follow a logical sequence. The above books have done researchers a great favor by transcribing these minutes and providing a thorough index, thereby eliminating all pain and leaving only gain.
