Join us for the following events this April/May (registration is limited): US land records class–discussion starts 1 May US probate records class-discussion starts 8 May Organizing Genealogical Information– discussion starts 9 May
If your ancestor was a landowning farmer and migrated from Point A to Point B, see from whom he purchased that first piece of property when he arrived in Point B. It might have been a relative or former associate, neighbor, etc. The owner of that property in Point B might have been looking to sell it and heard that his relative or former neighbor was thinking of moving. Or the seller could have been totally unrelated. But you won’t know until you look. ——————— Genealogy Tip of the Day is sponsored by GenealogyBank—search for your ancestors in their newspaper collection.
