Deeds and land grants help us learn about our ancestors and their migration. And even if your ancestors didn’t own lands, there may be information about them in land records. In this class we will talk about finding and using deeds as well as state and federal land grants. We will carefully analyze a deed to learn how to pull out the important details. Finally, we’ll discuss locating the land on a current map, and perhaps standing on the site of your ancestor’s home
