Records that survived the burning practices of the Revolutionary war, War of 1812 and the Civil War are indeed precious. I heard the British burned records in Ireland and America because the King owned all the land anyway, and to prevent land ownership after the war from being proved. There must be more motives than that of course, and how much can we believe of what we hear? I would dearly love to peek at those records.
