About the series
Session 6: Roots and Real Estate – Discovering Family History through Land Records
Land records can reveal more than just property boundaries—they can help you uncover the story of your family’s life and legacy. This session explores how deeds, grants, plat maps, and tax records can provide valuable clues about inheritance, migration, financial circumstances, and even relationships within a family. You’ll also learn how to read property descriptions and where to access land records both in Minnesota and across the U.S.
