Choosing&nbsp;from the menu Saxony before 1831 (and then clicking on&nbsp;Herrschaften&nbsp;or Kommunen) will show the names of the manors or cities,&nbsp;their archival numbers and the time frame of the collection. Clicking on the name of the manor or city will give a short summary of what happened historically in this area. When clicking on the online Findbuch (archival index) further details of the land and property cases&nbsp; are explained (be sure to click on the little square boxes next to the drop down lists). If you are not sure which village belonged to what manor&nbsp;consult Historisches Ortslexikon von Sachsen (historical gazetteer)&nbsp;online [http://hov.isgv.de http://hov.isgv.de] Here each village of Saxony is listed with a reference to a Grundherrschaft (manor).
For retrieval of actual records the&nbsp;catalog of the Family History Library should be checked. The Genealogical Society of Utah was able to film court records from Saxony. Court records among others&nbsp;cover&nbsp;the land and property cases of the above mentioned dealings between&nbsp;the manor lords and their subjects. For further details of what these records contain and how to retrieve them, see Court Records of Saxony.
