I would assume that the court house fire destroyed all the original records. However in such cases some conveyances are resurrected so to speak by affidavit or by the filing of duplicate conveyances that were recorded in other legal jurisdictions. It would be a good idea to visit the Clerk of Court's office and ask the staff for some help in this regard.

Do you think even if the Court House burned years ago, that there would still be record of it in the Clerk's Office? When he went over and checked years ago, they told him they didn't have a record due to the fire.

Ms. Giddens. On-line DeSoto Parish conveyance records do not go back to 1912. To determine the answer to your question, someone would have to go to the DeSoto Clerk of Court's record room and do the research in person.
