Unlock Courthouse Records with the Russell Key Index
Courthouse records (wills and estates; guardianships; deeds; court records; etc) hold a wealth of information for genealogists. Many are online via Ancestry and Family Search, but they are not always fully keyword-searchable, and still others are only found in courthouses. Because of this, you’ll want to feel confident checking indexes.

Researching in Western Pennsylvania, you’ll inevitably run into an index with a number grid known as the Russell Key Index or the L-M-N-R-T Index. With the tips in this video, you’ll be able to identify key letters and start flipping through records with ease.
