F A Q

Help!  I'm not getting the search results I expected!

For Book and Page Searches:
    Click in the BOOK box - Carefully enter Book #
    Click in the PAGE box- Carefully enter Page #
    Click on GET PAGE - To view documents
    Click on the printer icon located at the top left of the displayed document to print the document ( available with any Netscape 4.7 browser version)

For Name Searches:
You will find these abbreviations used:
    H Grantor - Human Name Grantor
    NH Grantor - Non-Human or Business Name
    H Grantee - Human Grantee
    NH Grantee - Non-Human or Business Name

Very Important!
(SHIFT 8) OR "*" IS THE WILDCARD KEY TO FINDING ALL NAMES, 
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT SPELLING.  
For Example:

The search above will return all entries with a last name of Doe, and first name starting with J, such as Joe Doe, John Doe, Jamie Doe, etc.
Click on the H Grantor or H Grantee button to perform the search.
When the computer searches for a name in the index, the name has to exactly match the index entry, unless you use the wildcard "*". The wildcard can be used any number of times in the search criteria.

For a Non-Human Name Search:
(Non-Human or Business / Corporate Name Search)
Make Sure the First Name Field is Blank. If something is there - delete that Field.  Click in the Last Name field and type the business name (John Doe Auto Sales Inc.) Click on the NH Grantor or NH Grantee button to perform the search. Remember you can use the "*" here as well, such as "*Auto*" for any company with the word "Auto" in its name, such as "AAA Auto Sales" or "Cleveland Auto".

After obtaining your list of search results:
Use Scrolling arrows to view all index entries, then to view the document either click on the name in the search results or enter the book and page from the indexes and follow Book & Page Search directions from above.  To just see the grantors and grantees, click on the X, to the left of the name in the search results.  The printer icon to the left to the X will print the results.
 

What does "Sorry, that page is not available." mean?

Documents are scanned by the Register of Deeds office and then loaded onto the website.  When a page is not available, it means that the document hasn't been scanned and/or loaded yet.  The "All Books" link on the viewing page will show you what books are available on our web site.
