The original, hand-written grantor-grantee index to deeds is online at the Fayette County Superior Court Clerk's site (www.fayetteclerk.com). Click on "Property Index Search" on the left, then accept the disclaimer, and click on "Name Search," again on the left. That will take you to the search page where you can type in a surname. You will be taken to the first page for the initial letter. Since the deeds are in chronological order (they start with 1821 and go through 1899) and not alphabetical, you will have to scroll through all the deeds (but that's fun too). There is a slot at the top to type in Book and Page number and "View Document" but it always told me the numbers were invalid. The index does not give the land lot and district but it does give the names of the parties, the book and page number, and the date of instrument and date recorded. If anyone can get a result with "View Document" please let me know. It may be my crazy Mac. Am I the only one who didn't know about this site? Surely not. I have been scrolling and enjoying myself for days. :-) What is most interesting is seeing who the very first land dealers were.

Judy, Thanks for letting us know about this!! I have been checking occassionally because I knew some counties were going online and alot of South Carolina is online. My fingers are crossed that the documents will be viewable, if not now, then in the near future - the ones in SC are. I will check on my PC and see if I can view the actual documents and let you know. Linda B.

I can't seem to find anything but more recent deeds on this site, even going through the steps mentioned. Even looking at the list on the Clerk's index search on the main page after you accept the disclaimer, the oldest thing listed there is "Online Index Books" from 01/01/1963 to 12/31/1977 . Am I looking in the wrong place? Michelle >> The original, hand-written grantor-grantee index to deeds is online at >> the >> Fayette County Superior Court Clerk's site (www.fayetteclerk.com).

Jodie, Can you tell me how to scroll the index starting with 1821? I couldn't find any way to do that from the menu.
