A grantee-grantor index is a list of recorded property transactions kept in the county recorder's office. It is organized alphabetically by the name of the person who received the property (grantee) and includes the volume and page number of the recorded transaction. This index helps people find information about who owns a particular property and the history of its ownership. In some places, the grantee-grantor index is combined with the grantor-grantee index, which lists transactions by the name of the person who sold the property (grantor). Another type of index, called a tract index, lists transactions by the location of the property.
