Heritage Quest Research Library Using Real Estate Deeds
| Using Real Estate Deeds Real estate deeds can be a gold mine of information about our ancestors, yet researchers often forget to check them. While the search process can initially seem daunting, once you figure out which indexing system a particular town or county is using, it’s not so bad. Learn how to tell a grantor from a grantee. What are metes and bounds? Which part of a deed are boilerplate phrases that you can safely skim over? What can you learn about family relationships from deeds? Learn all this and more from Al E. Fiacre, Jr.  Albert E. Fiacre Jr. Al is currently the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Godfrey Memorial Library. He has been involved with the library since 2003 and been a Board member since 2015. He also is the principal researcher on genealogical research requests received at the library.
