Did you know that you can look at scanned index of land records for grantor? Grantee not scanned. This is Southern Lancaster County's website. I cannot remember if it is Genealogy or Historical society. Did you know that you can look at microfilmed land records over the Recorders web site? It is not exactly easy to do since the book numbers are confusing and the page numbers do not exactly agree with the microfilm. But you can go back and forth to the right page. Confusing to use at the beginning but once you get the hang of using it, it is easy to do. You may need to contact someone at the Recorders office to help you.
