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. Occasionally deeds can help to establish a place and time of residence for an individual, list former or future residences of an individual, list family members and their relationships, imply dates of marriage or death, or list the names of close neighbors. 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.
