Processing Information
These volumes were microfilmed in 1958 by the Utah County Clerk's office. The series was processed by A.C. Cone in February 1996. The second reel was cut to remove CEDAR COUNTY PROBATE COURT MINUTES belonging to series 14793 and to remove the typed transcript for that while retaining the typed transcript for this series on a separate reel. The hard copy was transferred to the Archives in March 2003 by Utah County and this inventory updated. Since deeds were recorded in the minute books, hard copy should be sought under those series.
