Does anyone know what steps to take to find out information on mineral rights documents that are lost? Is there a copy kept somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any help.

They should have been recorded in the County Clerk’s office in the county where the minerals are located.

Okay thank you. What information will I need when contacting them since we don’t have the documents?
My mother died in 2001 and the mineral rights documents she had are lost, as far as we know. I am the youngest of the children and I just never thought about it until my brother reminded me of them. I contacted my older sister who gathered all the paperwork my mother had when she died. She said she shredded everything, she thinks. She is looking but hasn’t found the documents as of yet.
Thanks for your help.

If you know the state and county that would be a great help. Most counties have online record research capabilities. For instance, in Oklahoma 66 counties can be searched with a single query. [https://okcountyrecords.com/search/all](https://okcountyrecords.com/search/all)
Of the remaining 11 counties, some require a subscription or paid search.

By the way, I only have names to check with. A couple of County Clerk’s offices said that prior to 1998 it would not pull up any information for name search unless the mineral rights were transferred which she said rarely happens. This was the Muskogee, Cherokee, and Sequoyah County Clerk offices that told me this. I will check at the sites you gave links to.
