Starts next week! US Land Records 🏘️

U.S. Land Records:

How to Use Them for Family History

In this course, you'll learn how to find land records, how to use them to map your ancestor’s property, and how to best use your property research to understand your family history. With your new skills, you'll discover clues and resources that reveal  details into your ancestor's life. 

August 8 - September 4

The story of the settlement of the United States is a story about land and land ownership. Almost always, your U.S. ancestors probably saw land ownership as a key to prosperity and security.

Where your ancestors lived, how much land they owned, how they acquired and disposed of it...answering these questions often reveals family relationships, vital events, and compelling stories about how your family fit into U.S. history.

Over the course of 4 weeks, you’ll learn:

• Why land records matter in genealogy
• What land records may reveal about your family history
• How to find and interpret deeds
• How to understand property descriptions
• A brief history of public land sales in the US
• What military bounty land is
• How to apply the records to your family history research

Plus: You’ll have instructor Lisa A. Alzo there to answer your questions and guide you through each step of the way.
