Record Description:  Personal names taken from statements of incorporation, amendments, and name changes for businesses, fraternal organizations, benevolent societies, and churches. Names are of the signatories for these records.  Often they are the same as the first appointed directors and/or the stockholders, but those names have not been recorded.  Series 45, from which these names were taken, spans 1848-1926 (bulk 1876-1926), and includes 58 volumes.  Fourteen of these have been fully indexed and 10 partially indexed for the corporation names.  Of the resulting 3,200 records, approximately half have had the personal names indexed and made available here.  

Index Arrangement:  Alphabetical by last name.  Select letter from following list:  A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

Index Status:  Indexing is being done, as staffing and time allows, to complete the 10 partially indexed volumes, and to add personal names for already indexed corporation names for which personal names have not yet been indexed.

Note: It is recommended that the index be scrolled through, rather than using the "Find" function of your browser.  See our online index searching suggestions for more information.
