Researchers often overlook the importance of land records as a source for genealogical information. But significant, often hidden, clues can be found in land and property records, and they form an invaluable resource for research in the United States:

Written evidence of people's entitlement to land and property goes back in time further than virtually any other type of record a genealogist might use.
In America, land and property records apply to more people than any other type of written record.
There have been fewer losses of land and property records than any other type of record.

The more you know about land and property records and how to locate them, the more you will learn about your ancestors. Nowhere else will a researcher find the information as conveniently assembled in this book. This is the most comprehensive and useful review of land an property research for genealogists to date.
