General notes: the transcriptions below are abstracted and HERE ARE IN DATE ORDER; but in the original microfilm, they are often not in order. The very worst of these – "hidden" amongst other, younger documents – are noted. Sometimes a printed form is filled in, and sometimes the entire document is hand-written. The names have been deciphered to the best of the transcriber's ability, but a few they are spelled one or even two ways in the text, and signed another! CHECK THE ORIGINAL if it's your ancestor.
