St. Louis has a different way of keeping their deeds. Because they had early records, long before
statehood, these are kept in "Archived Deeds". About 1818 they started keeping the territorial
records in books labled A, B, etc. They go through the alphabet by 1837 and then do the second
series = A2, etc. The third series starts about 1843 and the fourth series in 1847. It was a large
city and county so that makes it difficult locating the records in the buildings. Having everything
indexed and microfilmed makes it possible to order the deeds.
