A Deed in the Hand is Worth Two in the Books
presented by Sara Cochran, also known as the Skeleton Whisperer.
Land records can be genealogical goldmines, even if your ancestor wasn’t the deed holder. We start with an overview of how land transferred from the government to private hands and between individuals. Then consider the power of land records to answer genealogical questions, and look at tips for finding and using these records. Includes a live look at Full-Text Search.
