Jim suggests this question is too "restrictive". I and others have asked this question before and never received an answer. So.... 1) Are there such things as land records or is this a hoax? 2) How extensive are these records? In other words, do they only include estates and estate owners or do they also include all inhabitants of estates such as peasants? 3) It is indicated that they exist back to 1612. How far back do such records go? 4) Are there regional differences in storage of land records? 5) Where are the storage locations for such records? 6) How can one get access to these records? Or who are the qualified individuals to locate these records?
