If you choose the second, titled "Deeds, 1688-1901; index 1688-1909, 1688-1909 Essex County (New Jersey). Register of Deeds", this will bring up the catalog page for this series [531 rolls of microfilm]. Choose View Film Notes and there you'll see after the Grantor/Grantee indexes, the original Deed Volumes listed. Best of luck in your search!!
