Please read the following before looking for a Probate Court Birth Record 1881-1884 Volume 5

In looking for names, please check ALL columns on the original record (Example, birth name, father’s column and mother’s column). In doing the indexing for these records second and possible third spellings of a surname have been put in because it was difficult to read and also because the father’s surname in that column might have been spelled differently. The purpose is to get you back to the record.

Sometimes the birth name is actually the mother’s maiden name, so notations were put in for that:

Example:

Sometimes the father’s surname in that column was not the birth record surname so notations were put in for that:

Example:

There were a few records that mentioned ADOPTION:

• Davis, Barbara Mary was adopted by E.H. Davis - Page 267
• Jacob, Arthur J. adopted by John P. Jacob - Page 269
• Walker, H.J. adopted by J.C. and Mary Walker
  Birth parents were Nelson Winchester and Netti M. West - Page 2

Please note that sometimes the original indexer missed completely the information for the parents column and sometimes they are also out of order.
