Join us for a FREE virtual program on June 22nd at 6:30 p.m. ET!

Land records often provide the names, dates, and locations necessary to answer tough genealogical questions. But finding the records to answer these questions in Pennsylvania can be a challenge. Learn what types of land records were created in a particular place and time, what kinds of information the records contain, and where you can find the records today. We’ll also discuss research strategies to use these land records to solve tough cases, which apply to using land records in any location. Presented by Megan Clark Young.
