SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Each entry gives title of case, case file number, list of documents filed or other actions taken in the case, with dates of filing, and citations to the record books (bonds, letters, orders) in which each document was recorded. This series of registers appears to be incomplete.
ARRANGEMENT
These volumes were numbered sequentially by the court administrator for microfilming purposes. The original volume letter or number identifications added in brackets were found on interior pages or were deduced from internal evidence. The volumes are dated by the filing date of the inclusive cases or records.
OTHER FINDING AIDS
Most of the volumes include indexes. Volume [A?] is not indexed. Volumes [B?] and D-F contains indexes at the beginning of each volume. Volume [C?] contains an index at the end of the volume.

Appraisal Information:
The composition of this series of registers is confusing. It appears that most register entries (except guardianships) for the period from late 1929 through early 1939 are missing. An entire volume may not have been microfilmed.
