Researching United States Land Records presented by Mark Mullinax

Land records frequently list the spouse, children or other relationships and sometimes list occupations, citizenship along with previous residences or death dates. They can help separate families with similar names and can lead to other records such as probate, marriage, military and so on. Join us and learn more in depth this avenue of searching your genealogy.

Join us in person or via Zoom by registering HERE.
