These abstracts were taken from the Original Probate files and loose Original
records recovered from the basement of the courthouse in Harrisonburg, La. 
They are not a complete listing.  It seems, that when the courthouse was last
remodeled and the addition was made to the original structure, which houses
the Clerk of Court's office and other offices, that an effort was made by the
Mr. Book who was then Clerk to arrange the loose originals in time for the
rededication of the courthouse and corresponding with the American
Bi-centennial Celebration in 1976.  Time ran short and many errors in stuffing
the envelopes occurred in filing.  A volunteer later created an index, but
only used the name on the envelope, not the actual contents, some which should
actually have been placed in another file.


     Note:  No File Numbers were noted by the transcriber for the remaining
items. Or these were some of the loose papers rescued from the basement of the
old portion of the courthouse.
