On the 31st of October, 1987, I began a project of abstracting the 

earliest probate records in the courthouse in Clinton, La. The 

courthouse has the original paper documents in vertical folders,

and also a microfilm copy of them made some years before by the 

Louisiana State Archives.



The files are arranged alphabetically by the surname of the deceased 

(not by date or docket number). It should be noted by the researcher 

that in some cases additional paper documents were added to the files

after the State Archives microfilmed them, so the only way to be certain

that all the documents have been acquired is to check the file in the

courthouse against the documents on microfilm. In the abstracts I was 

able to do, any additional documents added after microfilming have been

included.



My probate abstract project ended with a fire in the courthouse several

weeks after I began. The probate records were sent to the State Archives

for cleaning, and several years went by before they were returned. The

following abstracts were those I was able to do before the fire.
