RLP 49: U.S. Land Records Part 2

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about United States land records, specifically deeds. We talk about how to use the deed index and how important it is to learn how the index is organized. Whether it's a direct, indirect, russell, or other index, you will want to know how to find your relative's name in it. We also talk about our ancestor, Edward Raymond Kelsey, and how we found a deed for his land and what it was like.
