Index to Jackson County Circuit Court Judgment Rolls JR1531-JR1647

     
     
The Jackson County Genealogy Library is in the process of scanning and digitizing microfilm records housed in the Jackson County, Oregon Archives. These include mostly divorce records and some criminal cases beginning in 1912.

Divorces: Most divorce files contain 15 to 20 pages, but some have over 100 pages. Many of the pages have no genealogical value, but are legal documents pertaining to summons, certificate of serving summons, waiver of district attorney and default motion and order. Most of these contain just the name of the plaintiff and defendant and that the case is a divorce. Almost every document also has a cover page with the names of the plaintiff and defendant, the attorney, the type of document and the date it was filed with the circuit court. The remaining pages, which do contain genealogical information, include the complaint, the findings and conclusion at law and the decree (usually 5 to 7 pages total).

Although most divorces were granted by default, there are instances when the defendant “answers” the complaint and gives their side. There are sometimes custody issues or property issues that increase the number of pages. Lastly, if the defendant is not within Jackson County, Oregon, the summons may contain information as to their whereabouts that could be helpful in establishing their place of residency when the divorce suit was filed.

Criminal cases: These are usually smaller files with 7 to 10 pages (with one or two cover pages) and give the crime prosecuted by Jackson County, the verdict (if the case went to trial) and the sentence.

Note: The microfilm images are sometimes very dark, very light, cut off or blurred. We try, with the scanner we have, to correct the images to the best possible quality, but some are still difficult to read.

Our fees are $10 for one to three pages and $15 for four to ten pages. If more than ten pages are involved, our fee will depend on the length of the file. You will only be sent the pages that contain genealogical information unless you request that the entire file be sent. Please email us with the information we will need to determine the length of the file. Our email address for digital records is librarian@rvgslibrary.org. You can either mail us a check along with the request form or, if the file is no longer than ten pages, you can make a secure online payment. If the request and payment are by mail, the file will be mailed to you; if the request and payment are made online, the file will be emailed to you.
