Heads up... the FIRST ONE  I clicked, showed a instrument date in the 1840s.. which is BEFORE county settlement.  Those are probably rare, but hey.. what a bonus. Land records...to me.. have ALWAYS been goldmines, and the content of the deed is where the gold is. It is the finding of them that is hard. You are great, as always. --- On Sat, 6/6/09, Sheryl Shaw <cliffsmom@comcast.net> wrote: From: Sheryl Shaw <cliffsmom@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [TXWISE] Wise County Land Records To: txwise@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009, 8:03 AM David, La Darla, and Sue, just when I think the Wise County website can't get much better - it does.  Thanks for all that each of you has done to make so much information available to researchers everywhere.  This is the best county genweb site online.

There is a column next to the grantee with the description of the transaction. Does anyone know what are the different transactions are and what they mean?
