I received information on land grants, but what I am looking for is property records from after 1800 to 1950. Where are records held that tell who were the owners of a particular property during that time period, and maybe details of transfers? Is there a county wide office, or would it be held locally? Thanks, Ray MacDonald ----- Hello. I am researching my MacDonald ancestors who lived in Bailey's Brook on the same lot from about 1800 to 1950. I saw somewhere there are land records that might give me the names of the owners going back a while. Does anyone know how far back these records go, what information is in them, and where they are held?
