Circuit Court Files Index 1831-1899

     This Index of Court Records, mainly Circuit Court; but also a few Justice Court, Naturalization Papers, and such, that were mixed in with the Circuit Files.
     On some of the files the handwriting, is quite elegant, but with this elegance, comes the problem of reading. Our best efforts have been made to give the correct spelling of names. If you do not see the name you are looking for, try using a different spelling, or reverse the first and last names.
     There is a section in which no specific dates could be found. 
     The index is separated into Plaintiff and Defendant.  The Addendum to Files are for some last minute files that where found after compiling the first 119 Boxes of records.
     The section labeled Miscellaneous Files are paper such as Naturalization Papers.
     There is a cross reference section for joint cases. Such as Allen & Smith – See also Smith & Allen.
     Also an abbreviation chart  to help you with abbreviations such as NO & NE RR Co.  which is New Orleans & North East Railroad Co.
     If you would like to view or make copies of theses files you can see them in the Archives Library. Let the staff know what file you would like to see. The Index designates which box each file is.
     You an also view the index in the Archives Research Room in paper format.
