Research Tip

Land records include land deeds, land grants, plat maps, or other records related to land. Deeds typically involve a purchase or transfer of property from one individual or group of individuals to another. Land maps and plat maps can help to establish where the land was that a person owned and who their neighbors were. Land records were usually among the first records kept in a newly settled area and can provide valuable information when other records are not available.
