If you are a suscriber to the Chamorro Root Database & Library subscription plan, the Index of Names for land records (1895-1906) is now available in the Misc. Reports menu option. This is a tool designed to primarily work with the Land Records subscription.
Also for you Chamorro Roots Database & Library subscription plan subscribers I have recently applied many updates that includes the addition of thousands more of images in the Archives to enhance more research possibilities.

Building More Tools for the Next Generation of CHamoru Genealogy and History Researchers ...
Sometime between 1958-1959 Dr. Domingo Abella was commissioned to translate, into English, land records of title in original Spanish manuscript from 1895-1906. These land records were comprised of four primary jurisdictions on Guåhan: Hågåtña (most places fell here), Hågåt, Inalåhan, and Malesso. These records have since been digitized by the Department of Land Management, Government Guam.
Although the Index currently remains a work in progress, once I am able to complete and publish, it will serve as another genealogy tool and quick reference companion copy to those land records. The names listed in the Index are the land owners, their age and marital status (if recorded), the year of the record, estate number, property location and the page number for Abella’s transcription.
It is interesting to note that in some of these land records an “alias” for a person was identified. In general, these “alias” seem to be the person's family clan name, so I left some field space on this Index for those that did have their clan name identified.
