Over the years, our office clerks have compiled name indexes for the records maintained in our building. The records range from 1796 up to 2021. You can use our website to see what is available, then reach out to us and request your document either by mail, phone, email, or fax per our archives records request policy.

How to use search engine:

  1. Once you click the website link, you will be taken to the home screen and already signed in as a guest.
  2. This screen provides all indexes available. From here you may select the individual index you would like to search, or you may click on the “Search” key towards the top left of the site which will take you to search all indexes at once.
  3. If you have selected an individual index, the search bar will appear on the right-hand side of the screen. You may search by either first name, last name, or case number. If you have selected to search all indexes, select “name search” at the top of the screen. Here you may search by first and last names only. Record group should remain at (Any) to ensure all indexes are searched.
  4. ***When searching, less is more. Example, if looking for last name SMITH, try searching SMI to ensure you search different spelling variations of names. ****
