County Government Records

Regular filings in the Clerks’ Offices include deeds, mortgages, early marriage returns (1795-1878), tavern licenses, etc. In some counties, deeds and mortgages are filed by a County Register of Deeds. Naturalizations prior to 1948 were granted by the former Courts of Common Pleas and by other courts. Probate and estate-administration filings, guardianship and adoption records, and minutes of the Orphans Courts are filed in the Surrogate’s Offices.
