Notes

The stubs are arranged by certificate number and volume number. Volume 44889 was microfilmed out of sequence and follows volume 41366 in the container list. The certificate numbers were usually issued in chronological order, however two volumes (30059 and 30204) which should have been used in mid-1919, were not used until 1925-1926; thus the 1925-1926 dates appear in the middle of the 1919 listings.
