| Although identified as "indexes," most of these volumes actually identify themselves as "reception books." Within most (possibly all) volumes there is a separate section each for grantor and grantee. Entries within each section are grouped by first letter or surname and thereunder arranged chronologically by date of filing. Each entry gives grantor, grantee, legal description of the land, to whom the instrument was delivered (usually left blank), filing fees, book and page where the instrument is recorded, and remarks (usually confined to type of instrument—deed, mortgage, etc. These books MAY contain a more complete record of ALL transactions involving land (sales, mortgages, satisfactions, etc.). | |||||||||||
