Deeds can help you find ancestors who have escaped the census taker and can provide information on family relationships, migration patterns, wealth, neighbors and more. Learn how to find them, how to read them, and how to use them to solve genealogy problems.
Dr. Carol P. McCoy, President of Find-Your-Roots in Brunswick, Maine and president of the Maine Genealogical Society, has been tracing her family history for over 30 years and helping others find their roots since 2000. She specializes in New England, New York and West Virginia, and focuses on helping people learn the details and stories about their ancestors' lives. She has used local records such as deeds, town records, and tax records to solve many genealogical problems. Often overlooked, deeds and land records can provide useful clues to finding and learning about our ancestors. This is especially true for areas where Probate Records have been destroyed.
