New York State Court of Chancery Index to in re Papers

By type of name (personal/institutional; church; railroad), then alphabetical.

This volume is a name index to In Re Papers. It is divided into three parts. Part one contains an alphabetical index by last name of individuals and name of institutions or companies (exclusive of churches and railroads) involved in In Re cases. It is arranged in strict alphabetical order except for last names beginning with "Van" which appear after "Y."

Each entry in part one contains the name of the individual or institution, the file letter and number where the case papers can be found, and a note indicating the individual's or institution's relationship to the case (e.g., "Infant," "Petition of," "Estate of," "G'dn Coster Infants," "Admrx of W.J. Swan Jr.").

Part two contains an index to churches. It is arranged alphabetically by name of denomination and then alphabetically by name of church. Each entry contains the name of the church, the file designation "church" and number, and the city or village where the church was located.

Part three indexes railroads alphabetically by name. Each entry contains the name of the railroad, the file designation "RR'ds" and number, and the title of the case in which the railroad was involved.
