They should be able to answer questions you have about the land, if it wasn't a scam, your grandfather should have been paying property taxes while he owned the property. Douglas County Register of Deeds - Real Estate Records # is 715-395-1551 and County Clerk's Office - County Land Sales # is 715-395-1397. Between the two offices you should be able to find your answers.
