"Time and accident are committing daily
havoc on the originals
deposited in our public offices... the lost cannot
be
recovered, but let us
save what remains; not by vaults and locks
which fence them from the public eye and use...but
by such as multiplication
of copies, as shall place them beyond the
reach of accident."
Thomas Jefferson- 1791

**This one
is a sleeper, I have found recordings here of probate related decrees
from other
counties
incl San Francisco. Mainly they had lived or acquired property in
Mariposa and the heirs
had to file
copies of the probate decree from the other county to be able to do whatever
with the
Mariposa
asset. They have in the book along with name of deceased; administrator,
names of
heirs, Ct
of origin for the probate and book/page for the microfiche copy of the
document.
