Navigating New York land records can be a complex process, with records created on the county and state levels as well as by private companies. Furthermore, not everyone owned land, so exploring records of lessees and tenant farmers may be the best way to trace an ancestor. Learn the foundations for exploring various types of land records and discover how they can provide evidence to unlock your family’s history.
This New York Family History School course will provide registrants with the foundational resources and methods to trace ancestors who put down roots on New York State land. Individual sessions introduce details about county deeds, state title transfers, private land company records, and records for those leasing land.
Please Note: This Family History School course is available for on-demand viewing. Registrants have 60 days from the date of purchase to complete this course in its entirety. For example, if you purchase this course on December 15, 2026, you have until February 15, 2027, to complete it.
