23 October @ 1 PM ~ "The Wonderful World of U.S. Land Records" Peggy Ash
Land: "Land ownership was often at the heart of the political, social, and economic structure of a community. The records generated by that ownership can provide a great deal of information about an ancestor. Abstracting land records, however, requires care and patience. In a deed abstract, the names and signatures of the parties to the transaction, its date, the names and signatures of the witnesses, a description of the land, and the date and place the deed was proved (and by whom) are essential. In addition, identify the legally required parts of the deed and note any deviations from standard wording." Peggy Ash's presentation on U.S. land records covers the basics of land records. State land vs public lands. Patent vs deed. Various kinds of land grants. Where to find the records. Why you would want to. That kind of thing. Location-Location-Location. A child of professional genealogists, Peggy Ash, has been around genealogy most of her life. She has earned the Boston University Certificate in Genealogical Research and has attended many RootsTech, SLIG, and GRIP courses, including Tom Jones Advanced Genealogical Methods. Before the Mesa FamilySearch Library closed, she served as a volunteer and trainer there for two years and taught classes. She has taught free family history classes locally for many years and does presentations throughout the valley. Peggy is currently working on accreditation with ICAP Gen.
