Michelle Christie was with us again giving us tips on how to search genealogical records for land deeds and warrants. You need to look for the grantor, grantee, amount paid and legal description. Be sure to really read in detail whatever you find....there may be hidden clues in the text. An example was when she showed us a deed that listed the husband, wife, and two daughters by name. However, another sentence said that the wife was with child and that gives you a clue to look in later records for a third child. A great site to look for land records is The Bureau of Land Management at
