(b) In recording the instrument, paper, or notice the recorder shall record all certificates attached thereto and all endorsements thereon, and if any of the certificates or endorsements show the previous recording in the county where the instrument, paper, or notice or the certified copy of the instrument, paper, or notice is presented for record, the date appearing in the certificate or endorsement of the record shall be taken as the date of recording in the county, where the instrument, paper, or notice or the certified copy of the instrument, paper, or notice is presented for record. The record and certified copy, duly certified by the recorder under the seal of office, may be introduced in evidence with the same force and effect as the original record or certified copy of the original record.
