By the recording of certified copies of whatever may have been recorded in the lost, destroyed, or stolen record, which may have been taken from the said record, or which may be taken from the records of any other county in which the original may have been recorded, or from the files of any court of record in this state or any other state, or of the United States, or of any public office of this state or of the United States, in which the original or authenticated copies may be found.
