Using Tapestry - Hints

  1. Be sure to select a county. If your desired Missouri county is not on the list, contact that particular recorder of deeds..
  2. Take care to set up your search accurately. Correct spelling of last name is a must, but you do not need to type in the entire first name. If you are not certain if the first name is Janet or Jane, just type JAN in the first name field. Do not use middle initials.
  3. If Tapestry is unable to perform the search, or if your search yields no records, it will tell you so and you will not be charged.
  4. Once you get a list of documents, you can double click each listing and then select document details at no extra charge.
  5. Once you get a list of documents, you can double click each listing and then select document images. You will be charged $ 3.50 per each image regardless of whether or not you decide to print. Printing is included in the $3. 50. In St. Louis City, document images are available as of 4 /2000. We are in the process of scanning microfilm images.
  6. Your running total of Tapestry expenses is listed at the top of most screens.
TAPESTRY FEES are used to support the system and are invested in new improvements. Most counties cannot afford to use property tax dollars to support this service and so, user fees are assessed.
