Deed Records are one of the genealogist’s strongest tools in that it helps to locate the origin of the ancestor as well as to trace his movements through various States and Counties during his lifetime. A careful study of deed records, noting the date. amount of acreage and legal description, combined with a county map (legends: churches, waterways, cemeteries) are great clues for locating the old homesite! Deeds are not commonly found on the internet, however, we are scanning them where possible.
