While we are talking about land records... Does anyone know of a good resource that discusses Land Contracts as a way of acquiring property? I have had several cases lately in which it appeared as though a land contract had been used (late 19th and early 20th century land/property transfers in Michigan). I don't know a lot about the process and therefore don't know what records would have been created (and thus should be searched for). Bethany Waterbury Ancestor Hound Research East Lansing, Michigan
