COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course has been designed to accomplish several objectives. We will provide a brief overview of the history and types of land documents in the United States, and we will begin with considering Colonial Records (English, French, Mexican, Spanish).
Next we will examine land grants, and the interesting history of homestead records and the development bounty lands will be discussed. Deeds and maps, naturally an important part of any search into land records, will also be examined.
We will conclude by providing a lengthy overview of the availability of state wide and Internet land record sources and resources; where they are located and how you can contact the appropriate repository.
