I CAN'T FIND IT IN THE REGISTER OF DEEDS, WHERE NEXT?
- Not all records are in the Register of Deeds office. The Clerk of the District court
will have court, probate, and divorce records. Kansas Department of Vital Statistics
has birth, marriage, and death records. The Jefferson County Historical Society
and Research Center may be helpful in doing genealogy research.
HOW FAR DO OUR RECORDS GO BACK?
- The Register of Deeds of f ice (known in some states as the Recorder's of f ice)
of ten goes back to pre-statehood. Our records here in Jefferson County, Kansas
date back to the mid 1800's
