This work indexes DeKalb County, Alabama, deed records for the period 1835-1895. The original records for this book is stored in the probate office in the DeKalb County courthouse; the author, however, relied upon a microfilm database of the records produced by the Genealogical Society of Utah in 1979, except in those cases where legibility was at issue. The volume refers to about 15,000 deed transactions. It lists the names of the grantee in alphabetical order, the name of the corresponding grantor, and the volume and page number (on the microfilm) where the transaction was recorded.
