The fonds consists of records of both Land Commissions including reports, indexes, minute books of Heir and Devisee Commission sittings, claims documentation (notices, affidavits, certificates) and Commission rulings. The records of the two commissions are arranged differently. The first Heir and Devisee Commission is arranged by geographical location, organized by the names of the old districts. Within the districts, the files are arranged alphabetically by surname. The files of the second Heir and Devisee Commission have been indexed and arranged alphabetically by surname, with date of claim. There are five reels of name indexes.
